Is learning two languages at the same time inefficient ?

Question

I recently started learning Python 2 with no background whatsoever and I'm having a bit of a progress, but I want to know if trying to learn JavaScript at the same time will conflict me trying to learn Python ? I don't want to get overwhelmed or confused between the two, so is it possible to learn both at the same time without mixing them up ?

Answer 1

Hello, Ahmed !
You can learn, but the most important thing is to understand and practice.
But the most important thing for "knowledge of the language" is conditioned reflexes (this includes the knowledge of libraries, frequent practices, etc.), and this is only obtained when you are tightly entering the flow and code, code, code. If you often change the context, then, of course, also learn, but in my time it will take more.

Answer 2

Focusing on one language will make your memory of recalling syntax faster, I have learned multiples at a time and the syntax doesn't stick in my brain as well, but i'm not young. I don't mind referencing syntax.

In whatever language you learn, look past the syntax to get the theory behind its design. Boolean logic, Control Structures, Functions will have their strong similarities between both Python and Javascript.

Python has classes, while Javascript is Classless, but the same goals can be met when seeing that Javascript treat objects like classes "ish"
