      Are you like, not a very good programmer? I know at least as many languages as listed here, have worked in many of them, and what I find in modern times is that a few weeks in a language is more than enough to do real work. Shit, like half of programming languages are just based on whether the creator of said language likes semi-colons or not.

        Yeah, if you think being able to program in python, 3 variants of C, and the assembly language they teach you in school is unrealistic, you’re probably just a shit programmer.

      … No one actually cares if you have 2-5 years of experience in the specific language. I’ve actually never had prior experience in the primary language of any role I’ve been hired for. At most I just tell the interviewer that my experience with the language is 1 week of reading an online intro guide, and then show my ability to just code in the interview. If I can’t make something compilable yet, most interviews are happy with pseudocode. But it really should only take a few days of prep to be able to make something compilable in any language.

      A programmer needs enough base knowledge on what they’re doing, but that’s mostly universal. Languages you can just pick up based on what seems best suited for the momentary need.
