It seems I've had significant exposure to more languages and architectures in my University program than he had in his 30 year long career. That wouldn't surprise me. Larger companies are often well advised to keep their production languages to a minimum. I mean, even Google when they first started out (straight out of grad school) wisely restricted the number of supported languages. If you stay with the same company for a long time, I can easily imagine that you don't get a lot of exposure to new trends. I mean, C has been around for a while now and depending on the field of application can still be the go-to language.
