Depends on the language. Python for instance has a massive default library, and there are entire modules I use anywhere from one a year to once a decade —- or never at all until some new project needs them.
I struggle to think how one person is supposed to interact with that many languages on a daily (or even weekly) basis.
I’ve been on projects with multiple languages, but the truly active code was done in only two. The other languages were used in completed modules where we do routine maintenance and rare alterations.

Not everyone works in a single language and/or deep in some singular code base.

Gee do you think maybe that's why all our software sucks balls these days?
