I'm not one of those people (they're normally called Americans) who think English split off from Latin in 1066, so I am aware of the relatedness of those languages. s/ij/ei/ for example.
But the point was about proficiency. Could a person get good enough to work as say an actor or newsreader in that time? I don't think so.
I'm not sure I'd want anyone who codes like they're mumbling changing anything important.
Not a couple of years. But not three weeks either.
And have you ever worked on a job using two similar languages? I have & it's bloody confusing. Might not have been so bad if it involved switching over each Wednesday lunchtime, but sometimes it was ten of this then fifteen of that and back again.

An interesting hypothesis. Has it been put to the test?
Snap!. And even better, it has 0% systemd!
Theresa May is planning to reopen the coalmines in the UK.
Thatcher closed them so she wants to do it too.
Because the Russians can read it anyway?
It's unnecessary verbosity.
A [mathematical] function is a free-standing thing. Attaching it to a class "because OOP" adds nothing apart from verbosity.
Does the ratio of the hypotenuse to the adjacent for a particular angle change depending on where I call it from?
lang.Math my arse. Have you ever seen a Math?

Q) What's the difference between Vint Cerf and God?
A) God doesn't think he's Al Gore.

If they have systemd they'll be unreadable anyway.
Trump making curry? With me it's the other way round.
X has death panels!
Tell me about it. Some idiot tried to convince me that Marillion made more than four [studio] albums.
Indeed. A movie. In the singular. Two there are not. Three is right out.
I should have explicitly specified "... without using some horrid kludge".

Because as the number of participants in a discussion scales linearly the number of communication paths scales quadratically?
Assembly?
So how do you define a function (and I specifically mean a function) in Java?
But you won't be proficient in three months (the original claim by Oscaro) unless you're some kind of weirdo genius.
+1 Yo dawg
If "job leadership consultancy" is an actual thing we're all fucked. I don't just mean IT folks, I mean the whole species. Frankly, we deserve it.
Post hoc ergo propter hoc. No control group to compare against.
But with Thatcher Mk2 at the helm things can only get better!
Crikey. At that price I'd expect it to be served in Melania Trump's snatch.
Or perhaps it's due to the apostrophe tax.
