Knowing one programming language will it be much easier to learn any other languages ??

Question

Suppose I know Python then can I learn Java without much difficult ?

Answer 1

Hi! Yes, of course! only after python will you have to get used to the stricter rules for writing and formatting code that exist in other languages

Answer 2

As someone who is learning a first language right now, ive read a fair few accounts that would suggest learning one language, makes learning other languages easier.

Most languages follow similar patterns and share concepts, so once youve learned one language, you have a better understanding of the concepts, and learning a new language is more about just learning syntax and nuance.

Incidently there is a video on youtube that states learning python as a first language is not neccesarily the best idea, for reasons explained in the link below.
