Yes -- I also wonder if a description involving learning plural software languages might fit:

1. Hack programmatic-functionality in a first language

2. Master the intricacies of a first language, understanding all programmatic concepts through the lens of that languages specific implementation-details. Pedantically argue with those familiar with different language implementations, due to a kind of implementation-plurality/ essential-form blindness

3. Learn additional languages, and 'see past' specific implementation details and pitfalls of each; develop a less biased understanding of the essence of any task at hand
