If you have limited your understanding to only one language you've effectively limited understanding of how to solve problems to the tool set readily available in that language. The **recommendation** to learn one language a year is all about expanding your problem solving skills and adding to the tool set available to you in your every day life. I do not have to become proficient in Scala or Haskell to start using Java in a more functional manner where it is warranted, if I have grasped the general gist of FP and it's compositional powers. But *learning of those languages* has helped me and has made my every day java programming much more fun than without being able to draw from the extended tool set of other programming paradigms... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
