That is a terrible thing to say!!!  And how can you back this statement?

Besides, when someone is being interviewed, the interviewer should have
questions ready to determine the level of competence of the interviewee
for whatever the position and the requirements thereof.  I like to think
that people
don't lie (entirely) about what they know on their resumes.  Tho' if what
you mean
to say is that there are not many people who are intimately knowledgeable
of
C++, then I might agree.
