Tell that to the interviewer who needs you to dive into the project right away and he can't wait couple of weeks until you brush up your rusty X language that you used 4-5 years ago or even worse learned on your own time. It's not we that call us it's the other side of table that feels compelled to compartmentalize us

Which they shouldn't do.

Both sides of the table should embrace programming language agnosticism. I've spent most of my career doing PHP and later Node.js, but I'd be happy to take a job working on a product written in Python or Ruby if such an opportunity arose.
