Haskell, and functional programming at the same time. In school I wasn't properly introduced to it (learned some Lisp on paper, during half a semester, and that's it). It's quite the steep road so far, especially since I can only work on it during spare bits of time.
I've re-implemented the same project using vanilla flux, fluxxor, reflux, and baobab tree. I've come to liking baobab the best, with reflux in a close second.
The flux pattern isn't some total magic and itself hasn't been a revelation, but I've never been able to try out so many different rehashes of the same idea so quickly and that process has yielded a lot of interesting knowledge.
Symbolic logic. Years ago, I did a paper in logic which my professors initially took to be of publishable quality. They took a closer look and decided that I needed to clean it up a bit. I've finished reviewing Aristotelian logic and am now going deep into modern logic. I don't know for sure, but I have a hunch that my paper will be of use to mathematicians.

I'm also looking into learning Haskell and I know a very little about functional programming (I'm still in university but I think no one will ever introduce me to that), any advice on where to start?

Edit: I'm new and do not know how to make that into a link. Sorry about that.
I've finally decided that regular expressions are not witchcraft and that I need to learn how to use them.
I first became really convinced of this idea while studying Japanese using Anki. I've been doing that for over two years now, and have reached a comfortable level of comprehension. No plans to stop soon.
I've also started learning the violin recently. It's nice to be able to look at my other skills and realize that if I just put in the hours, I can become as good in this, even though I'm terrible right now.
