CWins48087yI think the "languages you know thing" loses it's sense anyway. Even with the same language, two developers can be specialists in quite different things.
I did c# for a long time and i got really good in my field (quality control for industry) but i can't to asp.net webstuff even though it's the same language. -
IMO you can only be fluent in language's you work with daily. However, you may know other languages. Therefore, you are able to move around languages and reaclimate yourself to them.
So, in a way you can say you more than one to a high level. -
mt3o19137yLanguage with same paradigm are easy to switch between. Think of switching to Haskell for a week!
Real problem with switching to other languages is library usage.
I work well with Laravel (php) but then switched to Spring. It was quite hard and I'm stoll learning after two years, it's that huge.
If I had to switch to python, I'd have to start from scratch despite having coded few tools in it. There's the real problem. -
I'm fairly fluent in JS, Python, and Java at any point in time. The rest I can immediately pick up on but I don't know more than 80% about them.

shaji12487yNear your java knowledge eh? What's there to know in java except
Object object= new Object ();
object.do()
Everytime i see someone listing a shitload of languages, i safely assume that they speak around 2-3 of them fluently. I did some c++ and can write a site in php but they are nowhere near my java knowledge, so i only list them as something i played around with. There is just no way you are fluent in c++, java and javascript because they take half a lifetime to master individually
