It is not a matter of being able to code decently in a langauge. Rather, it is a matter of whether the language you are coding in is the correct tool for the job. Also, I am all too familar with the real-world. Fact is, you should know how to use more than one tool. Being able to use just one puts some serious limitiations on what you can accomplish.
