Gentlepeople! Remeber people have opinions, like they have fingers to type them...

These could be red flags for the author, I respect that. These are not universal, yet they could be good conversation starters.

Consider that if you don't hear the answer that you expect, maybe you can contribute something of great value to the company... Or receive a lesson on the complexities of a particular business.

Also, language-itis itself can be a problem. We love the shiny, and forget the old... I am not saying that punch cards and FORTRAN are the tool of the future, but maybe FORTRAN is the right tool for a specific problem...

I don't know if you have noticed... But programming languages could potentially mean very little, soon.
