• Clojure—it’s like Lisp, only better

• Factor—a stack-based language for the new millennium

• Haskell—Static Typing as if you meant it and functional programming at its purest

• Javascript—runs in more places than any other language

• Python—mature, simple, defacto scripting language of the future

• Scala—all the buzz at JavaCon this year

• Erlang—concurrency made easy

• E—understanding object-capability will transform how you think about safety v.s. power

• Prolog—it’ll blow your mind (if you can understand it)

• Lua—JavaScript competitor in game sector

• Common Lisp—everything since copies some of its best ideas

• Objective-C—C with s-expressions and the object-model is so much like Ruby

• Forth—Stack-based functional language

• AppleScript—equal parts fun & frustrating, mysterious scoping, and rules that bend with every application

• C—because we all know what’s in the books, but in the real world it always looks WAY different

• Perl—the camel’s back has yet to be broken

• COBOL—all caps all the time

• OCaml

• Ruby—Simple and elegant, the way O-O was meant to be

• F#—functional and OO on the CLR. OCaml derivative for .NET “corporate” programmer types

• Object Pascal / Delphi-Pascal is a learning language and an important part of programming history. Further, Anders Hejlsberg led the language development of Delphi and then went on to create C#

• Groovy-A powerful dynamic language for the JVM.

• Actionscript 3—Modular language like javascript (but much more advanced) based on ECMAScript

Are we assuming that the audience already knows C, Java (or C#), and Ruby?
