I found it via reddit, and also thought it was interesting. Sadly it sits now in the bottom of my upcoming languages to pick up... And it is a long list. I still have to write some more Forth to be comfortable with it, and then follow (in no particular order, as I still have to decide which is the next best) haskell, lua, go, factor, python (again, I have forgotten a lot of what I knew), agena and probably another one or two I don't remember ATM

Oh you've left out clojure and scala in your list ;-) Unless you've already done those. Thanks for the link. Checked it out -- interesting. but too many others on my list, too.

  No, I said I had at least two I didn't remember. Thanks for pointing them :D Clojure is in fact closer to the top, after reading some blog posts by a clojure programmer.

    Do you typically just go through some tutorials till you get comfortable or do you actually write something in a new language you've been wanting to do ? How do you go about it? Some of your languages like lua, and go have been on my list, too.

      I try to code something, and then write some pointers for later use. To learn some PostScript, I wrote a randomly generated christmas postcard with Koch snowflakes and some other L-system fractals that looked good for Christmas, with Lisp I added a lot to Paul Graham's raytracer in ANSI Common Lisp (beside writing one program for a paper and some other odd code, Lisp is my second language to C, now). I am trying to write another raytracer, in Forth, but I just can't get to do it, so I will probably ditch it as a project. As for JavaScript (just know a little... I use it mostly as I would use C), I wrote some code I use in my blog. Learnt Java to do some assignments for the University... Lex for a tool to somehow parse C (long story :) and so on. I always try to write some code that will be "useful", or is in my list of "try to code this!" and well-suited for the language and then comment that code, thus I don't forget everything I used for it. But it is hard to have a lot of different projects, and sometimes (like in Forth) I stall :/
