However, you do not need to be an expert to be productive. You can write Django web apps perfectly well without knowing about Python's metaclass tricks, for example.

An expert still needs time to become familiar with a large codebase and architecture. I wonder if a competent programmer could simply learn the language in addition during this period.

Until your form isn't coming out quite right, and you need to start digging around in the source for the form class to figure out why. The happy path generally doesn't need expert-level skills, but debugging often results in a quick deep plunge.
