In my first-ever attempt at trying to decide on an object-oriented
programming language to learn (other than POV-Ray itself, that is!), I've
been looking at both Java and Python. In doing so, I'm beginning to see
similarities between the POV-ray scene description language and some of
Java (and perhaps some of Python as well, but I'm not sure yet!) POV
*seems* to use good parts of both...as well as improvements of it own...
but that's my rather uninformed opinion at this point.  I find the POV-ray
SDL easier and easier to work with, and would like to branch out into
learning one of the major, similarly-constructed languages. (Not C++ -- not
yet, anyway -- that's just too arcane for me right now. Big learning curve.)

My (really basic) question is this: Which OOP language is the POV-ray SDL
most similar to? (This question probably begs other questions, but it will
do for now.)
