Another programming language: The Haskell Programming Language
As with every other programming language, the proponents explain that other programming languages are difficult and hard to use, but this one, yes, this one is different!
And of course it really isn't. If your mind likes working the way this works, then yeah, you will grok it easily, like it, and no doubt become very productive, thus proving (to yourself at least) that yes, all those other languages are clumsy and non-intuitive.
If not, then you won't grok it, won't like it, and certainly won't be productive. Selecting a programming language is much like selecting a mate; sometimes things just click and sometimes they don't.
Here's another language you are really unlikely to use : http://compsoc.dur.ac.uk/whitespace/tutorial.php

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.
Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.

Too many friggin' languages and not enough time to look at 'em all. Being the big, broken-down, old dinosaur that I am, I think I'll stick to languages I already know: machine code (yeah, yeah, I know: that isn't a real language -- but I understand it anyhow), C, Business BASIC and if I really strain my brain, I'll bet I can still do some FORTRAN. I'm pretty good at writing UNIX shell scripts and I'm steadily improving with Perl.
Lessee. I don't know C++++++ (how many pluses are there?), don't know Pascal, have forgotten what little I knew about Forth, can't remember diddley about COBOL (it's been 25 or so years since I last looked at COBOL), can barely write raw HTML, wouldn't know where to start with Java, and worst of all, don't know nothing about Visual Basic (nor do I care to).
So, I guess that makes me pretty useless in today's computer scene. Sounds like it's time for me to retire and get a job at Wal*Mart greeting customers and sticking smiley faces on the kids.
Now, what did they say? This new language is different? Where have I heard that before?
