But why say "no"?

A programmer should be able to use more than one language. And
maintaining code is very helpful when you learn a "new" language.

Q: "Can someone else pick up that code when you leave."
A: "Yes, a programmer can."

At my current job I have to deal with some languages I haven't
encountered before and wouldn't have chosen myself. So my
predecessor hasn't thought this could be any trouble for other
programmers.
