That's one of the reasons I loved the "programming languages" course on coursera[0]. The course went through 3 languages, ML, Racket and Ruby giving 2 weeks to each language. And then spent time contrasting the weaknesses and strengths of the different languages and their paradigms.

Seconded! Programming Languages is wonderful. Easily the best I've taken in Coursera (and better than Odersky's courses).
