I've heard one recruiter specifically advise I learn Scala or Clojure, but then I love in Finland, where the JVM it's still even more king of the jungle than elsewhere thanks to decades of mobile engineering focus. I'll be taking up Scala, as well as F# and Haskell, in the new year, because I've increasingly realized that whether functional programming really it's the new OOP or not, it's certainly the specialty I most enjoy working in. As a Windows (and Windows Phone) user I'm especially interested in F#, and the .net world it offers to FP. I find it fascinating that so many developers spend their time finding any and all means to work around the reality that Windows is what nearly all their users are actually running. We've turned web browsers into miniature OSes, just to avoid that reality, and it's weird.
