I'd say saying "I'm a C programmer" is more analogous to saying "I'm a helicopter pilot." You can probably fly a commercial jet or fighter, but they are very different aircraft, with very different use cases and operation.
And there will always be a market for helicopter pilots.
- loup-vaillant 16y agoTraining a pilot on a new aircraft is extremely expensive. Teaching a competent programmer a new language is dirt cheap in comparison (a week for the basics, 2 or 3 more for decent proficiency). So your analogy don't apply. Plus, I bet I bet many pilots would get a kick out of learning a new aircraft, but can't afford it.
