just remember the older you get, the harder it will be to learn new tricks =) (from what I've seen it's very rare for a programmer to know more than 1 or even 2 languages)

everything new is hard and initially inconvenient until you get past the initial hump

forgot to mention if you don't want to deal with deployment and installation - heroku and google appengine are great ways to avoid that

Thanks for the tip! I'll spend some time reading on what those both provide; I think that once I'm writing code and watching it perform I'll have to motivation to pull myself over the other hurdles.
