Java or Ruby

Question

which one should I learn?

Answer 1

Both are great object-oriented, general-purpose, multi-paradigm programming languages. Java is much more simple to learn because it borrows the C++ syntax with little changes to it and more of a platform because of the JVM. On the other hand Ruby is complex but fun to learn because of it's simplified syntax. If you are a complete beginner I'd strongly suggest that you start with Java to understand OOP concepts since Ruby treats everything, even a number, purely as an object.

Example "Hello World"
1. In Java
public class helloWorld {
public static void main (String[ ] args){
System.out.println("Hello World");
}
}

2. In Ruby
puts "Hello World"

Answer 2

don't compare programming language and scripting language
