Hmm, reduced half-life . . . sounds like a 'bad thing' to me ?
Sorry, I should have better described what I meant by that. First check out the following definition...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-life_of_knowledge
The more languages/technologies (knowledge) a person has to know, the more time they have to spend keeping up to date because technologies are constantly evolving.
Future IT dept hires should focus on an individual's desire and ability to learn new technologies and not whether they are a fit for your current technology stack.
