My 2 cents: anyone selling themselves as an X programmer would immediately lose points as far as I'm concerned if I were hiring. Programming languages are tools. Being a C programmer is like being a hammer woodworker. It makes no sense.

I have seen C++ programmers jump from HFT to image processing to video compression and then to embedded systems.

They were completely different domains.
