That is back in the Raw Materials section. And objects are then
expanded in the OOP topic.

Because learning only one programming language makes for more
limited programmers in my experience. It is much better to understand
the underlying concepts that apply in every language and thus
become a "programmer" who can learn and use any language
than to become a "Python Programmer" who is afraid to use
other languages because it would take too long to learn them.
It says pretty much the same on the intro page under the heading
"Why Python?".
That having been said I do not expect the reader to actually type
in all the examples for all 3 languages. Pick one, type in the
examples in that language and read the others for comparison.
I thought I said that explicitly in the tutor but i can't find it
anywhere so should probably add it! (Thanks for picking that up!)

There will soon be a paragraph on the Getting Started page to say what I
did above... In fact its there now! :-)
