You are making assumptions there, even though in this very conversation you have evidence to the contrary.

In professional capacity over the years I have used Perl, PHP, Bash, SQL (various dialects), Java, Groovy, Kotlin, Scala, Javascript and Typescript. I did not move from Java and OOP knowledge to other programming languages. I started with with languages that don't (have to) use OOP. I still work with Typescript (and until recently Javascript) while also working with Java and Kotlin. And in Java and Kotlin there is very little traditional OOP going on.

I guess the point there is to always keep learning and evolving. I learned Kotlin at work, while doing it. I learned Typescript at work, while doing it. I learned about various libraries at work, while using them. Until a few years ago, I had never used React and I have never used React except at work.
