Nice one. Basically, I also do not know whether I will agree with him completely or not but surely I would say that more than using an unconventional language they used the language that they knew. So, if you want to gain advantage it is important to start early without wasting your time in learning things that may actually consume your energy when you already know another thing to get the work done.
