It cost but I would not say that it is expensive. A computer language to
learn is
just syntax. The expensive part are the concepts like : Information hidding,
encapsulation, data abstraction, polymorphisme, inheritance, .... But all
this should be known by any good software engineer.
Now when you understand all these concepts, learning a new language is
not that expensive but it still cost a bit.
Pascal.
