Verilog Having done all the functional, lisp-like, logic, stack-based, etc., "non-mainstream" languages, the one that most blew my mind so far is Verilog. Everything executing all the time, all at once, is just such a completely different way of thinking about things. Even though the syntax is C-like, the way you have to think about it is completely different from C. Like it looks imperative, but it's actually 100% declarative: you're describing a circuit. Everything else maps pretty close to minor extensions over OOP after you've worked with it for a while. Except logic languages, which map like minor extensions over SQL. Verilog to me was in a class of its own.
