there is mo number that any programmer needs to know. Concepts such OOP, KISS and the like are much more important.

Nobody knows more than one non-trivial language perfectly.

There is a difference between knowing and really KNOWING. Many programmers dabble in a lot of languages but only know one or two like the back of their hand.

Which of those 2 do you mean?

i forgot what term to use, but something like your specialty. means KNOWING. above mentioned about 3.

I used to program a bit with Javascript/PHP but I stopped with web development.

The main 2 languages I use are C++ and Python, but Im also decently comfortable with Java/C# and regular C and I have some experience with Prolog (worst language ever?)

 

I dont think there is a minimum number of languages you should know.

Programming languages are just a tool you use to develop what you want, and its pretty easy to learn them.

Being a good computer scientist is way more important.

Although having some experience with the major programming paradigms doesnt hurt (ie Object Oriented Programming, Functional Programming or Logical Programming).

know a language or know a library/API? I know many C-like languages easy but only a few libraries or APIs I can use without a reference

As a MSci Computer Science student I like to say I know Java (I dont KNOW it :P), comfortable in Python and got experience in C++ through the Arduino.

OOP is my focus
