I know C++, C, Java, Python, Lisp, Javascript and Pearl. Any ideas on a fun language to learn? I was thinking fortran or even assembly. I don't want another high level language basically the same, any recomendations? thx

| It would make more sense to learn one of those in depth instead of dabbling. |

 Learn Whitespace.
Yeah, I agree with CoBB. Better to know one language well than a dozen different languages badly. |

I don't really dabble in any, when I learn a new language i spend a few months on it and really get to know it well (except pearl, it was easy because of python, and C from C++). the fun part for me is figuring out all the structures and underlying implementation, so it's time consuming

Try some years.
Half of one may be enough to learn the syntax and functions, but those are just the basics.
Learn some software quality theory and try to apply the different areas to your knowledge of a language.

There are still quite a few out there. Assembly is a good choice. If you're not looking for anything practical and useful in terms of programming, I would recommend Brainf***. It is an extremly minimalist language that was generally just invented for amusement of programmers, and it sucks up quite a bit of my leisure time.

Didn't Arthur O'Dwyer make something for BrainF*** on ticalc? I remember seeing it in the archives :|
[EDIT] here's the link:

It's very far from minimal. I'd say Unlambda is as far as you can get. |

I'll probably get lynched for saying this, but it might be worth (from a CV point of view) learning a language that targets the .NET framework. C#3 is basically an OOP language with some nice functional features tacked on top of it, and if you already know Java it'd probably take you all of half an hour to get comfortable with it.
Due to professional requirements I can't focus on one language, but I do not have a problem when it comes to mixing.  |

I would try learning Assembly, so you can code some calculator games. :D

That looks like a popped temple blood vessel waiting to happen. I might have to try it out when I have the painkillers handy.

Try Lunix! It's awesome! j/k
How about asm, so you can some uber games with it? |
