After working as a professional software engineer for 8 years and having formal education in Comp Sci. I came across people of various skill level and some really smart colleagues and some not so smart ones. One thing always stood out people who had worked on an Enterprise level software stack like Java / .net or C++ etc. tend to be easy to teach any newer fancier technology easily as they usually have strong software engineering foundations. Where as people who are trained in scripting languages, some front end frameworks, it's a hit or miss. If the person is really smart (which is lower number of people in general) he would pick anything up but majority will have harder time to stick to good software development principles.
