Language Series

Last night I was thinking about what I wanted to write for the next couple of posts and I came up with an idea. I am going to try and learn a new programming language every month and write what I learned from my experience with the new language. Recently, I have been reading more and more about niche programming languages and how they have been influencing other more popular languages such as Java. One of the most talked about being Erlang and how it is amazing for concurrent programming. Currently the language I am teaching myself is Eiffel and I'll be writing more about it in about a week or so. Aside from that I have a few other languages I was thinking about learning. My list right now is:

• Smalltalk
• Erlang
• Haskell
• Lisp / Scheme

As you can see right now I only have five languages that I plan on learning. Now I want to come to you and ask for suggestions on any other languages you think I should learn. I'd really like to see a discussion or posts about any other languages that you know or are learning yourselves.
