no no no no no no no.
languages can be completely different. i hear my cousin cuss all the time when we are working on stickman that in java he could do this and that without thinking or coding the details. in C/C++ this is not the case. also, memory management and inheritance are different in those 2 languages, eventho the idea is the same. so no, fully disagreed.

...oh and btw. phyton is not a programming language imo. its a scripting language.


bit off topic but...
