I'm pretty good at scripting but I am not good with LUA anymore been years since I practiced it. Mainly I 'script' (code) Java, C,C#, C++, and PAWN sometimes but I'm fairly new at PAWN.

Java is a scripting language because it has auto compiling like LUA. The other languages you mentioned are coding languages because you have to compile them.

Java is nothing like Lua. Different API's, compiling capabilities, etc. Java is an Object-Oriented language, meaning that it needs a compiler to gather the code and translate it into machine-code.

C/C++ was used to create RbxLua, and C++ is used highly in companies such as yes, Roblox, PSN, etc.

C# is "Microsoft's" language that they made specifically for their developing/engineering team. Just as Apple made Objective-C.

I can teach you C++ and or Java if you'd like, but C, C#, and Objective-C you'll have to learn on your own, I'm not teaching those. Although I can help you with any questions or bugs with any C, C#, and Objective-C code.

However there are more useful scripting languages liek Python, Ruby, haskell (Sorry if I mispronounce it), pascal, etc.

The language you want to learn varies on what you're planning to do with it. Obviously you wouldn't use Python for web-development unless it can be integrated into standard pre-compiled code which can be formatted to"web-code". And you wouldn't use HTML for just say, making a calculator. Lua would be most useful for being able to "exploit" in games like Gmod, or DayZ.

The cool thing about Java is that it is a multi-platform coding language. Meaning you can write code on a windows laptop, and continue to write the same code on an Apple Mac.

C++ has shown to be very useful throughout the years despite the criticism for it's coding infrastructure (how you write code) to be "unorganized"

I've been told that if I learn LUA or C++ before Java, I'll have a difficult time learning Java

Is this true

Absolutely not. There is no "hard" language. It all depends on the mind's ability to grasp the concept of the language.

For instance, at 12, I couldn't understand anything about coding. Then when I turned 13, it all seemed easy.

Well to be honest... in real life the most used computer language is Java. Many companies hire people with extensive skill in Java. Also Object Oriented is much easier to code (Program/Compile) then the other ones.

Java is not the most widely used computer language. There is no "More used than this one." It all depends on what you're doing.

@CodeFu, I never said that, but mostly if you look at company's they would want you to have a extensive knowledge in Java. Just this year I took the AP Computer Science that literally the whole thing was based on/in Java.

The reason why Java is such a big deal now-adays is because of it's ability to be coded the exact same way on two very different platform OS's.
