What languages do you know already? What computer science concepts do you know?
What computer programming concepts do you know? Have you heard of Scheme? Ruby is a bit Perl like -- so if you like Perl, chances are you might like Ruby. Python is more like Java. I have heard, but have not been able to verify that if a program is about 10,000 lines in C++ it is about 5,000 lines in Java and it is about 3,000 lines in Python (Ruby to?)
