Same here--learned dozens of languages over the years, including some arcane languages such as REPO and EDL.
Found that a language is just a language, i.e., a method for taking some Input, doing some Processing to produce some Output. After a while, the language becomes immaterial. One language might be better suited to accomplish a task than another language, but, with few exceptions, the task can usually be completed in any language.
The harder part is getting a clear definition of the task to be completed, i.e., Input-->Processing-->Output. (Remember HIPO?)

If they actually use Java, then yes. Which does indeed not make sense, if you can use .NET

Eh, I know .NET... I like .NET...
But since all of my .NET projects are on hold for various reasons, I was put on a few Java projects... So I re-taught myself Java... And you know what?
I still like .NET.

Java in itself doesn´t make sense, so what do you think the combination of the two will be?

I use C# (and have used VB.net  ), and wouldn't mind knowing Java for Android, but I really can't be bothered.
(Yes, I've heard of Xamarin, but I don't pay for development tools.)

It happens to be the case in my company, where we have a .NET app server and a set of clients that include Android.

The discussion makes no sense at all. Know what you must and if you need something else learn it.
.NET C# and Java aren't all that different, except for the library, and event handling, and properties, and checked Exceptions, and...

Both are just tools of the trade. Does it make a difference if you use a left-handed screwdriver instead of a right-handed one?
Arguing over tools is akin to angels on a pin, good way to waste time but ultimately unproductive. If you know how to use programming tools you can work with just about anything, and if you don't know...well, there's always cowboy coding for some tiny startup that doesn't care what it turns out as long as there's an IPO in there somewhere.

It makes sense to know everything. Your ability as a programmer will be directly proportional to the number of languages you know (and also will be directly proportional to the number of things you know overall). Think about it this way: if you want to be able to write programs to do anything at all, you have to know everything. That should be the nirvana you struggle towards. There is no such thing as an unimportant or superfluous piece of knowledge: the universe is what it is because of all of it, at exactly equal levels of importance.

Ok, I have found 181 matches for that pattern and apart from "BEEP", I don't think any other word has anything to do with sound.

What makes you think the word has anything to do with sound?
