Well, now you are starting to make good sense.

But it is all moot.  Try presenting this argument to the average employer
and it will fail miserably.  The truth is that any programming language
can be sufficiently mastered for most purposes in a very short time, but
very few employers realize this truth.  For them, problem analysis is
secondary, if even that, to demonstrable experience in a specific language.
