The computer doesnt know C++ and doesnt care if the software was written in Java, Haskell, or BASIC; no matter how the software is written, its going to execute binary machine code. Perhaps its a myth, but seasoned developers appear to have the ability to look at some buggy code and say, That looks fishy. What about algorithms?

This can lead to a concentration of functions of the same language, size, and workload.
