Jerry,

It's probably an H-1B visa advertisement. They have to show proof that they advertised for the position and could find no one qualified to get the visa approved. They advertise a position with multiple requirements so that no local is qualified.

All of that said, hiring companies almost always put their requirements in the form of languages and/or packages. Other want ads for any kind of programmer are scarce (around here, anyway), invariably they list multiple languages, not just one. And it was rarely the same mix across the want ads. [Personally, I think those kinds of ads are written to meet the qualification(s) of someone that they have already decided to hire but want to appear to be an EOE. But that's just an opinion.]
