Comment on Ask HN: The "Expert/Master At (Language)" Point

Comments

I'm trying to approach it from a slightly different angle (although pmiller2 alludes to it):

When you know that a language is absolutely the wrong choice for a problem, you are probably there.

When you can hold a problem in your head, use two different programming languages to shape a solution, and intuitively understand - in a way you can clearly communicate at least to yourself - which one is best suited to the situation, then you can consider yourself an expert.

Mastery is just a path.
