The question of whether they can earn their living is separate from
the question of whether they are experts (though John Salerno asked
the one with the assumption of the other).

I submit that a programmer who knows *only* one programming language
can never be an expert in that language; it is only exposure to
multiple tools and ways of programming that can grow a one-trick pony
into an expert.
