Damn right! I have learned a few languages over the years. I know CF, ASP, Java perl, python, and I still know some C++
If MM want to be ass holes then let them. I have already started moving away from CF as a primary development language(I like JSP/Java). I still like CF. It works great in a lot of situations. But the way MM is going I am going to need to know other things if I still want to survive in this world.
