Subject: Re: Programming Newbie: Ruby or Java?

Hello,

one thing that might be difficult to learn with no programming
experience is Ruby's meta programming. in this respect Java is easier.
one of the languages that they use in academia to teach programming is
lisp. you might want to take a look at that too. but just to learn
because doing something real in lisp is painful. Ruby is much more
suitable. i think. but in general of course programming is not about
language syntax and semantics...
