If you want to stick to Java and apply to a non-Java job, that's a bit of a waste of time for both, isn't it?

If a developer with more than 10 years experience in language XYZ applies for the job, it's because they feel they can be valuable to us.

Why would I reject them?

The problems they solved using XYZ in the last 10 years are probably a super-set of the problems we need to solve with language ABC. The solutions will be the same, it's just a matter of "translation".
