Why not, people learn languages and there are programmers coming from other language, switching languages, they know in one language majority of things and not in the new language. In general, there is nothing wrong in asking. It is better that we give incentives here to ask any questions by anybody regardless if programmers or not programmers. If any person is configuring ~/.emacs or init.el then they are becoming programmers it is progress and is good encouraging progress. How many programming languages there are? I hope that definition of programmer will not change through time that it requires multiple programming languages or being paid for the work. Many children today are programmers, I would not call them not programmer if they do not know Java but they know how to instruct Lego robot.
