| Jul 21, 2017 at 9:11 | comment | added | Cronax | I strongly doubt that not coding in java for a few years would be as damaging to your career as you seem to think. In fact, I think that people who have only done a single thing in a single language for years on end will have worse prospects in a potential new job than people who have shown they have a wider set of skills and are adaptable. | |
