Just find good people (Score:2)
All of the good programmers I've worked with can easily work with most languages. Not only do they pick up the syntax, but they read the right stuff or whatever they do to know the wisdom of using it.
The bad programmers only learn enough to solve their problem, rather than learning to be able to solve future problems they don't have yet.
However, employees are in a bit of a bind here because, at least in the US, employers don't have strong commitments to training and retaining employees. There is a lot of churn in the industry, so employers don't invest in people they don't think they'll employ after three years.
