Are programming languages really discrete, though? If you learn Scheme, then write Arc in it, do you now know Arc, or do you still just know Scheme? If you Greenspun in C, do you still only know C, or did you "learn" (half of) Common Lisp?

No, they aren't discrete. This is a silly exercise but fun to play.
