At one point, I was working with Perl, Python, Tcl, and C++ all more or less at the same time. I just kept crib sheets handy, so I could look up syntax whenever I needed to. Which was about every time I needed to write a for loop and didn't have an example handy in the same piece of code to remind me what I was supposed to type. > I'm more thinking about Python, PHP, C++, Perl, Euphoria, which are > languages I'm thinking of learning now. This seems like a reasonable set (I've never heard of Euphoria; I'll need to do some google/wikipedia work tonight on that one :-)). If you're trying to build a good resume, I'd probably add Java and/or C# to the mix. Of course, with a list that long, we're probably talking a year or two of study, unless you plan on doing the most cursory job on each. > How is your experience with handling these paralell?.

Sometimes it's just a quick glance (I spent about a day playing with Forth last year), other times it's a deeper look with a serious project or two (those are generally ones with resume appeal, but not always). In any case, I think one at a time makes the most sense. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
