Such as Scala vs. C#, Clojure vs. F#, or the more common Java vs. C#. Or the more interesting (IMO) Java vs J#, or Scala (on JVM) vs Scala (on .NET framework).

P.S: It is possible to make shell booters in java?

Good luck with your learning.

Java also helps (if you use it properly) you learn C++. Syntatically, Java and C++ are very similar. People have a misconception about Java when they say you cannot access the WinAPI with Java. Java has something known as the Java Native Interface, or JNI. It allows you to execute raw C\C++\Assembly code.

A quick example:

JNIFoo.java

Code

public class JNIFoo {    
    public native String nativeFoo();    

    static {
  System.loadLibrary("foo");
    }  

    public void print () {
    String str = nativeFoo();
    System.out.println(str);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    (new JNIFoo()).print();
    return;
    }
}

foo.c

Code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <jni.h>
#include "JNIFoo.h"

JNIEXPORT jstring JNICALL Java_JNIFoo_nativeFoo (JNIEnv \*env, jobject obj)
{
  int i;
  int ds_ret;

  char\* newstring;

  jstring ret = 0;

  newstring = (char\*)malloc(30);

  if(newstring == NULL)
  {  
  return ret;
  }

  memset(newstring, 0, 30);  

  newstring = "foo: Test program of JNI.\\n";

  ret = (\*env)->NewStringUTF(env, newstring);

  free(newstring);

  return ret;
}
