I sometimes asked in job interviews, "What are your favorite and least favorite programming languages?" The followup question was "What is your favorite feature in your least favorite language, and your least favorite feature in your favorite language?" The purpose of these two questions was to see if the candidate actually thought about the tools they use, or were they just a fanboy.

If a candidate went to a decent university CS program, they were exposed to some very different languages, so they would have a basis for this opinion. If they were self-taught, they might only know one programming language. I would take it easy on such a candidate if they admitted their limits, but not so much if they were a fanboy.
