Define know though. A C++/Java programmer can quickly write some Python code but isn't Pythonic. To me being able to write a program in a language doesn't mean you can write some code in it, you also have to know the paradigm its supposed to be used, as well as the layout styles, build tools, commonly used libraries etc etc. Even learning a new library often takes months alone.

Yes! Exactly. Oftentimes I look for "X for Y developers" style tutorials to try and fasttrack that for myself (e.g. npm ≈ Maven but this is how they differ), but high quality ones can be hard to come by & takes a long time to fully grok a new language
