Imagine what that would do to dispel listing a key word list of languages ever touched, if we could just say, I know how to work with loops and functions, or I can compose systems of objects, or I know that a database can store, retrieve, and manipulate data. No more "I know C, C++, C++11, Javascript 5, Javascript 6, Python 2.7, Python 3.5!" If you're that dependent on people not looking up the syntax when they need to, you're either hacking into a computer at the site of the computer, or have no idea what the job entails.
