I have been working on bioinformatics for many years now, and I see this question often asked by beginners, people that insist in using just a single language are crippling themselves and their work. You can and should learn both and more, programming languages are just tools, the more tools you have the better prepared you will be for solving any problems that arise.

the silver lining, I hope, is that this will highlight how important independent verification and reproduction of results is in academia, people "know" that but funding for it is still scarce as its always more exciting to try to find something new than to validate a known result.
