Cold, neutral attitude to programming languages - sign of a pro developer or not

Cold, neutral attitude to programming languages - sign of a pro developer or not

A profesional developer Zed Shaw says this:
Which programming language you learn and use doesn't matter. Do not get sucked into the religion surrounding programming languages as that will only blind you to their true purpose of being your tool for doing interesting things.
So, being neutral to languages is a sign of a good/pro developer? We see worshipping and holywars what language is better.
The good coder does not care about tools, he only thinks what software he writes (like writer does not care about pen he uses - he thinks about the BOOK content)
should a programmer develop total ignorance to language as tool he uses?
is it a sign of pro developer, if he does not care what language to use?
