Hello, Have you come across the fact that, choosing a language depends a lot on what your current employer prefers. if the group decides on Java/C++/Python, you have to work on Java/C++/Python for that matter...its not a choice that you make...
Plus, one cannot move between projects, just to have a good hold on different languages. How should one go about getting knowledge of a few different languages when their employers essentially use a certain development environment. more often I think, people get married to domains and to the tools that these domains demand. What you say? Thanks and best regards, Vishal Sapre On Mon, Feb 1, 2010 at 7:01 PM, Shashwat Anand <anand.shash...@gmail.com>wrote: > freaking awesome and enlightening replies.
