Hi John,
Good thing you're not RUSTy.

I've always expected programmers to learn new languages as needed, and for
me it's recreation, at least if the new language is halfway decent. During
the last half century at least 70% of my colleagues have been willing to
learn new things.
I have a useful knowledge of PERL, Python, BASH scripting, Java, and C/C++.
I do need to look things up when writing in them mainly because I'm not as
interested anymore. I'm lazily reading about RUST right now.
