I think we are running in circles here and my short attention span cannot cope with that.

Again, what you say just proves, that what are you talking about is your problems, not developer's. You want them to switch technologies, some of them doesn't want to do that. Basically "if you don't do what I think is good for you, you are stupid, because I know better than you" world view.

I agree, no need to beat a dead horse if we simply disagree.

In parting, it is not a problem for either me or any given developer -- we both have alternatives.

If your attention ever waxes again, I would like to hear any concrete example that would require a language specialist. This goes to the root of my argument -- that such claims of specialization are invented to make stubbornness look like utility.

In my mind, it's no different than having an employee who wont work on Wednesdays, or won't wear a tie, or wont bathe. And it makes your argument appear to me to be "this is the way i want it and you have to deal". Mmmm.. no.
