You're wrong because it's not politically correct.

You seem mad about something.

About many things. Nothing in this thread though.

I mean in general with political correctness comments.

Not really. It's just that I have sufficiently good background in programming, that learning a new language within a few weeks isn't a big deal for me. I am pretty sure anyone else in my stead would be easily capable of doing the same.

As a senior manager of an IT Organization (our development team reports to me), I can assure you, it is very uncommon for a programmer to be able to switch to another programming language (in a week or two) with which they have never programmed. In fact, the only place I have seen that ability is from a very gifted programmer, and a genius, in college. He was able to pick up any programming language and program, adeptly, in them regardless of the language.

But, reading over yours and Bardock's conversation, you covered all of the points I wanted to (that C# and C+ would be an easy switch but Python and Haskell would be very difficult switch).

I guess you might be right since I am the only one interning in the programming section of the firm I am currently at. There was a girl who was working along side me 4 months ago, asked to be shifted after the first few weeks since she couldn't cope with the coding. Heck, iirc she was still stuck on learning the basics of Perl even as I had begun developing scripts for whatever program my supervisors required.
