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
