The fact of the matter is, as a student of Computer Science,
you'll very likely study several languages throughout your
coursework. The idea is to form a grasp of common concepts,
and be able to compare and contrast different tools for their
strengths and weaknesses.
Any language that someone goes about learning, IMO, is a boon. If for no other reason than they get another perspective, and you expand the number of tools that you can use for a particular job (not all tools do all jobs equally well, and so it is with languages). And, having something else to relate it to was for me a win. After learning to express myself in one language, I found it to be usually just a matter of learning a new vocabulary and dialect to express myself in another. The basics of conversation were no longer foreign to me. --jwest -><- -><- -><- -><- -><- All things are Perfect To every last Flaw And bound in accord With Eris's Law - HBT; The Book of Advice, 1:7 In reply to Re: Does Knowing Perl Help or Hinder Learning another Language
