Sorry, how do you know she hasn't been coding since childhood? All the top coders I know have been coding since childhood. They also know more than one language in my experience despite your claim. I have two close relatives, one I know for a fact earns seven figures. He was constantly learning to code new languages when he was younger. He's slowed down now that he's middle aged, but I remember when he was learning BASIC and Assembler on his Apple ][. And later Pascal. And then C. And then C++ and then Java. And so on.

Also, plenty of people learn second or even third spoken languages as adults and become fluent in them. My childhood best friend's father fled Ceascescu's Romania after being conscripted, came to America, learned English, and then wrote academic works. In English.
