I'm currently familiar with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and I'm considering starting Python. How many programming languages do you think a person can reasonably learn over their lifetime? What's your take on the importance of learning multiple languages versus focusing on one?

Languages are pretty similar, honestly. It’s more about how you think about problems than the specific language itself. Knowing JavaScript is a solid foundation, and if you're looking into low-level languages, C is a good start. Python is great for everything else!
You can definitely learn as many programming languages as you want! Once you get the hang of the basic concepts, you'll find they’re quite transferable across languages. So don’t stress too much about the number.
True! But don't forget about languages like Lisp and Haskell—they're not as similar!
