> the criterion by which you should choose your next language is not employability, but expressiveness. What a weird choice. If you are looking for an out-of-the-mainstream language, you can't really tell right away if a language is expressive or not before you actually dive in. Myself, I go for "exotic looking". I read the brief description of the language, look at a few snippets, and the weirder it looks, or the most foreign the main concepts are, the more I'll be interested in studying it for a few hours. The point is not to be expressive, it's to stretch my brain.
