What is reasonably good? I work for myself by programming in a variety of languages. Hopefully that meets the reasonably good criteria.

Java's not a language, it's masochism.

I was thinking computer code, but if you include spoken languages, I have two. Good English and fluent Nonsenseese.

Not exactly.

the claim doesn't say, "programming language."

In English, I'm a pretty good Java programmer.

However, if you asked me to program Java in German, I wouldn't do so well.

I guess it's based on my ability to communicate what I've programmed (which I can do in English).

Diamond dog, would you like some 'pedantry' cred?
