I'm still getting better at Python but I'm really intrigued by Erlang and Lisp. I'm not sure if I want to delve into Lisp but we shall see.

Fun fact: I've never heard of Q, MPI, and Cuda .. time to wiki em :)

It's sort of a combination of the two; Lisp Flavored Erlang, for real time control.

I thought the same thing here - unique languages with distinctive paradigms, deserving of separate choices.
