[Edu-sig] C vs Java

[arkamir at softhome.net]

Hello, 

  Ive been sitting in the sidelines of this mailing list for some timenow, 
and I know this has probably been asked but I was wondering whichone would 
be more adventagous to learn out of C and Java. I am afreshman in 
highschool, and am profecient in Python. I know there are awhole slew of 
other languages out there, but I am researching intobuilding a robot as a 
tool for learning a low level language, and thoseare the only languages 
supported. I've heard a lot about how C is deadand Java's open source 
compiler/libs lacking. Learning see C would begood for kernel hacking if i 
ever get into it, but I'm most likely goingto have to learn Java for my AP 
tests anyways. 

Thanks A Lot
