That's a wrong assumption. I understand that people can have this impression
when they deal a lot with Open Source code, but I've seen a lot of places
where code was produced that was not written to become publicly available (and
believe me, it *never* will become Open Source). And the projects made strong
use of identifiers with domain specific names. And believe me, those are best
expressed in a language your client knows and expresses concepts in. And this
is definitely not the language you claim to be the only language in CS.
