C and x86 assembly.
I've been floating in high-level land for too long, feel like I need to get close(r) to the metal.

#64I'm also going for Objective C. The rest are a bit too not useful.

#66My "to-learn" list has three items on it, and I'm torn about which to pursue first...
* Lisp (Interesting, recently bought pg's ACL)
* C (Would be useful at work, recently bought K&R)
* Obj-C (Have both an iPhone and a MBPro that would be neat to develop for)

#67Earlier quoted context omitted.
which language are you talking about?
Robert Virding's Lisp Flavored Erlang, which, among other things, does away with records, neatens up the syntax, and enabled Lisp style macros, but is still built on Erlang, and still contains it's high quality pattern matching. Virding is one of the original contributors of Erlang. http://groups.google.com/group/erlang-questions/browse_threa... Copied here: I have finally released LFE, Lisp Flavoured Erlang, which i…
WOW!

WOW!
We're doing real time control for vehicles, which has to handle, among other things, valve timing, fuel flow, the transmission, suspension adjustments, braking. We can't afford to have the system break, and Erlang is built for mission critical systems, giving us quality primitives for handling concurrency and software breakage.
But in Erlang records and math are kinda broken, and we needed both. Hence, LFE.

#69Ouch, zero points for Arc. Even MPI has one (prospective) devotee! I voted Haskell, because their libraries are finally getting the language to a point where it is competitive. There's even a story about this on the front page today!
I've already spent some time learning Arc; I intend to integrate some features into lisp flavored erlang, as below.
