Language of the year
Joe speaks sense. Again.
[Joe's Jelly]The Pragmatic Programmer suggests learning a new programming language (at least) once per year.
...
So, which one should it be? How will they change the way I think? What will you be learning this year?
It's been on my list of Things I Want To Do for a while, so I'll choose Ruby as this year's language. I saw my parents yesterday and they gave me a belated Christmas present: the Pragmatic Programmers' Programming Ruby, so it looks fated, AFAIAC.
I wouldn't mind the time to improve my (almost negligable) Prolog knowledge too, but there's only so much time in the day.
Oh, and Joe, you might be interested in JRuby

It's good advice from the Dave and Andy. I'm learning Haskell this year. At least that's the plan... so far I've printed the manual...
