Well - - - I'm pretty much a programming noob and I'd rather learn 1 (!!)
ecosystem well than dabble around in a few and use only cut and paste for
programming otherwise c would be the way to go. Had a long time mentor,
now deceased, suggest that python was a pretty good option for learning
programming - - that was although he himself prefered pearl.
