I think the better tactic is to focus on mastering programming and solving problems, rather than a specific language.
Learning a new syntax is not that challenging, and no language will be the optimal(or even possible) to use for every project.

Alternately, new libraries are worth learning. Learning how to deal with massively parallel code is very different from singlethreaded programs.
Of course, you can write C in any language.
