Choosing a Programming Language for Interviews

Re:Choosing a Programming Language for Interviews by angersock on Wednesday February 05, 2014 @11:47AM (#7184790)

Has anyone had the luxury of using multiple languages in an interview?

E.g., "Oh, you want me to twiddle bits? Let's do this in C.", "Oh, now doing silly text file stuff? Ruby.", "Write a simple properties thingy? Javascript.", "Find all permutations of blah? Lisp or Scala."

I wonder how common that is.

For my current position interview, there were several code samples I needed to write. One of the requirements was that I had to use two different programming languages (although I could pick which one for which sample).
