This is important.  One of the most successful parts of my computer
education was early on (the second year I'd programmed a computer)
learning a language a week for the summer.  Tough course, but after
that, a new language didn't (and doesn't) scare me, as it does most
mono-lingual students.  I feel I got a much better idea of what, in
general, programming was from learning wildly disparate languages.
