    Programming languages I'm interested in

    Here's a list of programming languages I consider promising and/or interesting (mostly front-edge research languages).
     
    Nemerle
    www.nemerle.org
    Strong type-inference engine.
    Syntactic macros (ala LISP) for flexible language extensions (Meta-Programming).
     
    Boo
    http://boo.codehaus.org/
    OO, statically typed, syntactic macros, Python-based Syntax, .NET integration.
     
    F#
    http://research.microsoft.com/fsharp
    ML / OCaml for .NET. Interesting functional mix. Type-safe. Scripting.
     
     
    Comega
    http://research.microsoft.com/comega/
    C#-extension to support concurrency and work with XML.
    Has interesting concepts, like Haskell's infinite lists, which is good for continuations etc.
     
    SpecSharp
    http://research.microsoft.com/SpecSharp/
    Specification oriented (compare: Eiffel), design-by-contract, pre- and post-conditions etc.
     
    IronPython

    Python for .NET
     
    Epigram

    Dependent typing. A very innovative Code-Editor. Very powerful compile-time checks.
     
    Ruby

    A pretty expressive OOP scripting language.
     
    Haskell
    www.haskell.org
    No comments.
