there's a lot of truth in that. If you can program in one procedural language, you can program in them all. Similarly, if you can program in one declarative language, you can program in them all. I would add that being able to program in a declarative language means you can easily program in a procedural language, and probably rather better than someone who doesn't think declaratively. Conversely being able to program procedurally does not imply that you will ever be able to program well declaratively. Not quite such a snappy soundbite as yours, though!
