I have an interest in publishing a beginning programming textbook, and am creating a proposal.
My original thought was programming in C++. But Java is some 4-6 times as popular. I think both could benefit from my approach, but C++ needs it more*. So do I
* make a proposal "I have this cool idea for teaching programming, and can do either C++ or Java"; or
* make a proposal "I have this cool idea for teaching programming in [pick one]"? Possibly with "Oh, and [other language] needs this approach too, so, series potential [or however I'd say that]."
TIA.

* The approach is to be fun to read and with fun projects. This is abysmally lacking in C++ textbooks. I'll look into Java more, but I think it's fun projects and dull reading.
