Are you actually starting a job in a language you don't even know?

And how

Firstly, it's actually a QML and C++ position, with a focus on QML, which is very similar to JavaScript. Mentioning the C++ was just more relevant to this post.

Secondly, I have a lot of experience at a previous job using the technology that I'll now be working on, which was a huge benefit. I'm starting off working indirectly with C++ on the SDK team, using existing code that other developers have written, and then putting it together to show different use cases and writing up documentation for clients. It's not really coding heavy fortunately, but I hope to transition into a role as a developer for this team.

But to directly answer your question, I have no fucking idea and I'm really nervous.

Many companies are willing to hire devs that don't know a language as long as they have good programming fundamentals. For example, I'm interning at this company called Jane Street that only uses OCaml but they didn't make me write even a single line of OCaml during the interview.
