Actually that's a point. I favour learning two languages that are semantically
similar buut syntactically different. Thats why I chose JavaScript and VBScript
as my tutorial languages, because the syntax of each is so different you are
less likely to get confused, but the underlying programming model is very
similar in each case.
Hijacking the thread a bit. What about learning Jython and Python? Do I
need to know Java to learn Jython?
No. Jython is "just" a Python interpreter written in Java. It allows you
to use Java classes in your Python code. You might want to learn Java to
take advantage of that.
