I didn't start in 1967, but 1984, I'm in agreement with the bad programmers premise. Since the beginning there have always been

lots of languages. It is my opinion, the more languages and concepts you know the better your success on the project.

Heck I didn't use triggers till late 90's, funny thing I have a PICK project right now.. too much fun

I started programming in 1967, and over the last 50+ years I've programmed in more languages than I would want to list.  I spent a decade writing in FORTRAN on a GA 18/30 (essentially a clone of the IBM 1130) with limited memory space, so you had to write EFFICIENT code, something that is a bit of a lost art these days.  I also spent a decade writing in COBOL.

I've not found many tasks that I couldn't find a way to write in whatever language I had available to write it in.  There may be bad (or at least inefficient) languages, but there are lots of bad programmers.
