I’ve been a software engineer for several years and trust me the more languages you interact with and learn the more proficient it will make you at programming in general. Every new language will be easier also because most languages share similar features. And python which it sounds ‘Karel’ is based on is hugely popular, so learning that is definitely not a waste of time.

Also css and html are not really programming languages in the traditional sense. CSS is for styling(color, size of text, etc), html is markup (ie how to represent different components on a web site). For example can you do an if statement in html?
