Clojure, people! If you haven't yet checked out Rich Hickey's new functional lisp for concurrent programming on the JVM, then you're missing out on something really, really, mind-blowingly cool! I'm a Lispnik at heart, and I do most of my personal development in Common Lisp on SBCL, but I have to program a lot of Java code for my day job. Clojure has definitely caught my eye and is #1 on my list of next languages to learn.

- miked 18y ago+1 for Clojure. S-expression based language with macros, runs efficiently on the JVM with type hints, all the Java libraries available. Callable from Java. Cleans up side effects nicely, while still allowing them when needed. Strong support for easy threading. Escape Java's high-ceremony hell without having to quit the job. Highly recommended.
