I said as much in my response to Nigel Hamilton's Perl and Raku growing as a profession - borrowing hacks from barristers. I've also been hired in similar situations as Dave: I told them I didn't know their tools, and the said that wouldn't be a problem. In a couple months I'm as proficient (usually more) than the the rest of the team. That's not because I'm smart: I just read more of the manuals :)
