I'm partial to Common Lisp and I think it fits the brain pretty easily.
But Racket is a good choice too. There is a nice, friendly development environment and plenty of libraries and learning materials.

Sure. Check out SNOBOL: http://www.snobol4.org http://www.snobol4.org
Oh, and Pharo Smaltalk is definitely worth looking at, imo.
- vram22 11y agoThanks for the answers and suggestions. Will check some out.
- vram22 11y agoJust remembered, I had tried out the Icon language some years ago, for a while. Interesting, and had some unusual features. Just saw in the SNOBOL Wikipedia article that it influenced Icon (and also Lua). And Ralph Griswold was involved in both languages, SNOBOL and Icon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SNOBOL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SNOBOL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_E._Griswold https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_E._Griswold
