:) :) This is not a professional opinion, it is just a way of thinking
that may or may not apply to you in this case (or generally).
You are welcome to start learning both Python and Emacs at the same
time, and delve deep at both. In fact, there are so many editors and
programming languages available in FreeBSD you can spend an entire
lifetime learning. It *is* my exact defintion of *having fun* !
