#12Erlang, just for fun. I really want to learn Haskell even better but for a new language I'd pick Erlang for the moment.

#13At this point, I'm tired of learning programming languages, and would rather learn how to be more effective with the dozen or so that I've already learned.
Re: Which programming language do you want to learn next?
#14Forth, still. Written a few bits but want to get serious.
Re: Which programming language do you want to learn next?
#15No more new languages for a little while. New algorithms and problem domains instead.

Erlang is definitely the most fun language I've learned in many years. It will make you think very differently then most other languages and at least slightly change the way you think about everyday programming.

Yeah, I went through the learn-every-programming-language-possible stage in late college and the couple years afterwards. I eventually decided that no language is going to boost your effectiveness as much as knowing your problem domain very, very thoroughly. There's a lot of depth in specialized algorithms that isn't visible to someone in college or a web shop, yet many of the most lucrative startups come from specialized algorithmic knowledge.

#18Scala.
I want the power of types and functional programming and Actor concurrency, but am leery of doing anything practical with languages like Erlang or Haskell.
Plus, Scala runs on the JVM and is thus compatible with all of Java's libraries. The day I have to read a UTF8 string backwards I want to use some standard library, not get creative with a linked list of ints.
Plus plus, the Lift framework looks pretty great.

You can go ahead and write your own forth interpreter (or maybe Cat http://cat-language.com). Writing your own stack-based programming lang is a lot of fun! (That is my toy project for december)

#20None. The language situation is absurd as it is. The only languages I learn nowadays are ones I have invented.
