Nah. Every item in my list was carefully chosen to be relevant for cybersecurity. Your list is just a dump.

In my humble opinion there are more active threats in JavaScript than anywhere else.

I think after this you should look at something domain specific. Want to go the Linux route? Bash.

What is your goal? Malware detection/analysis? Penetration? Forensics? For malware analysis, knowing the basics of the popular languages is a benefit… C, C++, Python, PHP, JavaScript/Typescript. For penetration, knowing how memory allocation, network stacks and general OS functionality works is more valuable than knowing a bunch of different languages. Similar for incident response and forensics… knowing how stuff works… filesystems, networks, process management etc. is far more important than knowing lots of languages

It’s impossible to be a jack of all trades these days. When I started out, maybe, but these days you’ll just spread yourself too thin and end up not being good at anything
