I think maybe a better answer is an example:

At my work I have to use the following to get my job done, though you may note view them as compiled languages they all involve a syntax:
C, Oracle PL/SQL, ksh, bash, awk, dtrace, make (makefile syntax), java, SAS. All in the context of multiple applications so network protocols are important, as is TCP/IP programming (sockets).

Why?

Companies usually rely on networks of linux/unix servers, windows servers, and application servers on linux. So solving a single problem can take you anywhere - from program code, user environment settings to Operating system issues and networking.

To navigate through this mess you need lots of different skills.

UUID(3) 							    Libuuid API 							   UUID(3)

NAME
uuid - DCE compatible Universally Unique Identifier library SYNOPSIS
#include <uuid/uuid.h> DESCRIPTION
The UUID library is used to generate unique identifiers for objects that may be accessible beyond the local system. This library generates UUIDs compatible with those created by the Open Software Foundation (OSF) Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) utility uuidgen. The UUIDs generated by this library can be reasonably expected to be unique within a system, and unique across all systems. They could be used, for instance, to generate unique HTTP cookies across multiple web servers without communication between the servers, and without fear of a name clash. CONFORMING TO
