Somewhat of the fact that python uses C encourages me of that, but I have still been looking into c++ to optimize, because I've used it before, and the more languages I learn the more they feel 'similar', but the same, if you can understand that!
Absolutely! That's why I use 3 languages in my tutor. To try and dispel the myth that programming languages are hard to learn. Once you can program in one language learning another normally takes a few days or even hours. (Becoming fluent is another matter! :-) There are probably only about 5 or 6 basic structures to programming languages: Algol based (Pascal, C, Java, Python etc) Lisp based (Lisp, Scheme, clojure etc) Prolog based Functional( Haskell, ML etc) SQL based others?... -- Alan Gauld Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
