Channeling Steve Rayhawk, I gotta second the Haskell recommendation since some of the cool super-theoretical category theory delimited continuation abstract machine nonsense blends into other stuff that may end up being useful for FAI stuff, and it's probably pretty fun besides that.

Damn, I don't know what a "category theory delimited continuation abstract machine" is yet. Looks like I still need to learn more Haskell.

(I hereby dub this quale "The Haskell sensation".)
