> If you cant learn anything else pretty sure you havent the skills to program any "embedded device".

How did you arrive at this conclusion?

[TheZenPsycho]

it's obvious isn't it? it's like "if you can't learn calculous I'm pretty sure you haven't the skills to do rocket propulsion calculations"

Someone with only one language or a "main language" is someone who just simply has a lower level of skill than is needed for embedded programming- which requires lots of different skills and languages. Being able to learn more than one thing is a prerequisite.

So if you work at company with a PHP stack (meaning your main language will obviously be PHP) you can't learn anything else?

[TheZenPsycho]

if your natural response to something like embedded php is "Oh how convenient, I can use my main language!" then that would imply the answer is "yes", since, if you do know other languages your natural impulse would be to use pretty much any other language if you have a choice.

Well, these arguments of yours aren't the most ridiculous I've ever heard... I'll give you that much.
