"one of those is a lot more accessible to someone just starting out." Its interesting that this point comes up in a world containing useful google results for "try ruby" "try clojure" "try haskell" "try-python" "try scheme" but there are no useful google results for "try cobol" "try java" "try php" or "try visual basic".
