Recently, I saw a tutorial somewhere (maybe Scheme) where there were different pages for people coming from different languages. That's a lot of effort, but its a thought. So someone from Python can see some typical python sample, and how to do it in your language. Same for other languages.
Typically, we wish to see how to do something in a new language that we used to do in the earlier one. Going from Java to Ruby, I was always looking for this till I actually came across a blog post meant for Java programmers moving to Ruby. (For example, how to do the main() in Ruby).
