And, I would say he/she is not any kind of a programmer.
I have been programming off and on since the early 70's and full-
time since 1980.  My Fortran looks like Fortran.  My COBOL looks
like COBOL.  My Pascal looks like Pascal. My Ada looks like Ada.
My Assembler looks like Assembler. Etc. Etc. Etc.

There is much more to programming than syntax.
