While an interesting language may be obscure, an obscure language is not necessarily interesting. In many cases, being relatively well known is a benefit simply because it offers more exposure to new ideas.
I have found languages such as Forth, Racket, and Smalltalk far more valuable primarily because they are sufficiently accessible to be practical learning tools.
