Keep in mind you will not learn enough about any of these languages that you can run off and build something. Each chapter covers a different language and primarily discusses some of the features of each that you may not see in another. It's kind of like a programming language buffet where you can have a small taste of a bunch of different things.
- silentbicycle 16y agoCTM (http://www.info.ucl.ac.be/~pvr/book.html http://www.info.ucl.ac.be/~pvr/book.html) is a similar treatment, but covers about a dozen programming models (paradigms' trade-offs, semantics) rather than languages. Comparisons between languages can often get bogged down in surface details.
