Great rundown, if you're interested in something new and interesting, check out Reason, and slightly more mature, Elixir language. Elixir is built on the Erlang VM, but has a lot of inspiration ideological inspiration from Ruby.

Thanks. I knew I would forget some. :)

Note that Reason is just a Javascript-like syntax on top of OCaml. My pref would be to use the OCaml syntax, but dealer's choice.

Another +1 for Elixir here. It's fantastic!
