It's not just that "You won't know until you try" ("is it better
to have children, or join the monastery?"); it's that you won't
know until you try, *and it's inexpensive to try*!  It's eminently
feasible to gain experience in either language with a few hours (!)
of work, as opposed to the weeks that must precede enlightenment
about, say, J2EE servers.
