Coming from a Java workshop, I have noticed the exact opposite - the majority of Java developers I have worked with are unwilling to touch or experiment with anything other than Java, even languages on the JVM like Scala; alternatively, I have noticed python developers are much more open and agile when it comes to moving in and out of other languages.

In retrospect, I should've said depending on the environment and the willingness of the devs involved, but yeah, they always find a way back to Java.

Could that be because the experimental ones have already moved into Ruby/Python years ago? The Rails world certainly has a lot of ex-java programmers.
