It is not, that I am refusing the rest, but I definitely can't get an
expert in all. Rather likely I either could know many languages a
little or one really good. Of those two extremes (if I had to choose
one or the other) I would prefer the latter.

Of course.

I also think that all these will be around for a good while and
probably when Java gets the COBOL status probably .Net will become
either. ;-)

Of course, it depends on the job where the focus is. A driver
developer also wouldn't be THE Java developer.

On the other hand, some people don't stop to argue that Java is only
for big enterprises... - people spreading out such phrases contribute
to the "Java is dying myth"... >-(
