I just don't agree with your statement "If you're really good with C++ you'll figure out most other languages fairly easily".

As I was trying to illustrate there are a wide range of language features available in other languages that C++ does not have anything remotely like.

It takes a long time to learn C++ not because the concepts are particularly hard, but because the implementation of the language is rather messy and the code you produce can easily do crazy things not apparent on the surface.
