That's a concept which is lost on far too many people nowadays.
I got the job I'm currently in after an exchange that went something like:
"I see on your r?sum? that you can code in quite a few languages."
"I mostly list languages on there so I get picked up by the
keyword-searchers. The main thing is that I fundamentally understand
how to program a computer."
"When can you start?"

So is the
languages the problem or the hardware for clean coding?
No, not really (though in some cases either can exacerbate problems).
The actual problem is people coding who don't really grok programming,
at best understanding "programming in COBOL for VM/CMS" or "programming
in gcc for Linux on i386" or whatever - and usually not even that.
