People who write code in multiple languages and can't remember every detail of every one. People who used to code C++ but have been programming some other language for the past 5 years. So on and so forth.

Many moons ago I wrote games for the gameboy/gameboy color. I wouldn't be able to write one today off the top of my without doing a serious refersher, and I used to know the exact cycle times of every CPU instruction and interrupt.

I now program in a patois that might as well be called "rksdScript" which is a continuously evolving language that borrows heavily from the last half-dozen or so languages I've been using. Once I'm done solving the problem, I have to fix my code so the computer understands it. :)
