This is only true if they have not been exposed to other languages to begin with, programming is not just about the language you are programming in. But the logical flow of the code, to say that a CF developer would not be able to go to Java is not true. They might struggle if they don't have an analytical approach to any language, but I have seen CF developers learn grails/groovy and hundreds of other languages like Rails.
But yeah if you're a designer and have picked up CF then sure that would make it a touch more difficult, but I have even seen designers pick up Java with ease because they can approach it in the right manner.
