What's best for you; learning one or many languages at a time?

Question

language, memory and retention

Answer 1

I realized that I learn alot more wen I see how code (data structures, systems namespaces, classes, methods, parameters, variables, struts, etc) is implemented in different programming languages. Some constructs are so baffling, and frankly speaking, sometimes vexing too!

You get to see the nuances of each new language. As you dive deeper, you get to see the strengths and weaknesses of each language but not necessarily appreciate all of them however. You're likely to find, as a matter of fact, a favorite, targeted by environment; Windows, IOS, AOS, Linux for your web, apps, and other software dev projects​.

So I believe learning different programming languages whether concurrently or sequentially, gives you a certain leverage as well as a choice of your favorite picks to suite your career preferences...

Answer 2

We should focus on one but knowledge of others are important.

Answer 3

I would recommend first start with one programming language make sure u understand the basics very well. Try to implement few scenarios. Once u r done with that then u can start to learn multiple languages. For eg, at this stage consider u are familiar with OOPs concept but u need to understand the difference how each programming languages are implementing. Basically all the programming language looks familiar with concepts u just need to understand he language semantics

Answer 4

My approach to OOP has been: Learn philosophies of several languages; but master the syntax of only one of them.
