I know this is a boring question, but I am ready to add another language to the resume and would like to know what people think are the most practical and interesting of the up and coming programming languages.
I don't have any requirements other than that it be a language that you feel is swiftly approaching broader acceptance in the software community. Also Go, Rust, and Scala are already on my short list, but I would love to hear which of them people think I should start with. I am not super interested in javascript or anything built on it but am open to having my mind changed.
You make a good point, which is that I really should get around to learning lisp, as the only functional language I am fluent in is Ocaml. Anyway what stands out about Clojure to you?

Thanks for humoring me.
