Yes, I can look them up on Wikipedia, and I plan to. However, I want input from you, assuming you've used the languages. Basically, the University of Toronto has always done Java first year, then moved on to Python and C in later years. Next year, they plan to do Python first year and Java and C in later years. I haven't touched any of these languages yet, but I think we're starting Visual C later on in the school year. I'd like to start learning one of these in the summer, but I'm not sure where to start. Which one I learn also affects how I organize my first year at the university, as first semester is the old way and second semester is the new way.
So, anything at all you guys can tell me about them, their differences, their strengths, which you recommend learning first (not necessarily because it's easier) and so on...
