Don’t fall for the “language A is better than language B” -it’s all just syntax (within the same paradigm). Learn higher concepts such as: data structures, abstraction, loops, variables, conditionals, functions.

Only then can you decide that your favourite language is better than anyone else’s...

    Langs have more then their syntax to judge on.

    Syntax matters too.

    Well I hope we can all agree that if we had to pick a best language, Java ain't it.

    Some languages are clearly better than others in some situations, even within the same paradigm. BASIC and C are both imperative, but I don't hear much argument for using one over the other.

    If it's just syntax (which is also not true), would you write a big program in Bash?

    It's got all the primitives and containers you need, just bad syntax right?

    Also, semantics are way more important than syntax, and usually what people complain about
