Looking through his various articles and profiles; I don't see any relevant language from the last 10+ years (Java, Python, JavaScript). He seems to have scratched C, C++ and C#, all of which are still in use, but he didn't really get into them? His history of learning "new tech" seems extremely modest. It seems I've had significant exposure to more languages and architectures in my University program than he had in his 30 year long career. And from the year of experience I've had, I can also tell that switching between languages and APIs is easy. So, maybe age-ism is a thing, but I'd also argue a lot of age-ism can be reduced to "I never even tried keeping up and hyper-specialized myself into a dying corner even when the signs became clear I'm becoming outdated, so why doesn't anyone hire me?"
