Even if one knows two languages absolutely fluently, it takes a day to shift the brain gears from one to the other, semantically and syntactically, when one moves from one to the other between serious projects involving professional usage. I grant you that I "wrote" my first Python program in about 5 minutes. It said, "Hello, David." I STILL don't "know" Python.
