Answer 1

Also, the more languages you know, the faster you'll get comfortable with a new one. After learning shell scripts & perl, I found picking up python to be rather quick and easy. Mostly I was just amazed at the variety of things it did for you via libraries!

Answer 2

Agreed, though you shouldn't learn several at a time.
