Gambas is a Basic language with object extensions. A program written with Gambas is a set of files. Each file describes a class, in terms of object programming. The class files are compiled, then executed by an interpreter. It is very inspired by Java. Gambas is made up of the following programs: * compiler * interpreter * archiver * graphical user interface component * development environment The development environment is written with Gambas itself, to show the abilities of the language. Features - A Gambas project is stored under 1 directory. The archiver transforms the project directory structure in one sole executable file - Compiling a project only requires the compilation of the modified classes. Every external reference of a class is solved dynamically at the execution time - Gambas has a component architecture that allows to extend the language. Anyone can write components as shared libraries that dynamically add new native classes to the interpreter. Components can be written in Gambas. The component architecture is documented in the Wiki encyclopaedia - By default, the Gambas interpreter is a text-only program. The component architecture is used for writing the graphical user interface part of the language - The graphical user interface is implemented as a component, Gambas will be able to be independent of any toolkit! Write a program, and choose the toolkit later : GTK+, Qt4.. - Gambas projects are easily translatable - Its object model is simple but powerful

Haskell - a general-purpose functional language with many unique properties (purely functional, lazy, expressive types, STM, etc). You mentioned you dabbled in Haskell, why not try it again? (I've written about 7 things I learned from Haskell, and my book is linked at them bottom if you're interested :) ). Source: 12 months ago
Where you go is entirely up to you. According to haskell.org, Haskell jobs are a-plenty. sigh. Source: about 1 year ago

Haskell.org now has a big purple Get Started button that takes you to a nice short guide (haskell.org/get-started) that quickly provides all the basic info to get going with Haskell. It is aimed for beginners, to reduce choice fatigue and to give them a clear, official path to get going. Source: over 1 year ago
I just jumped into the wiki "Write Yourself a Scheme in 48 hours" which looks pretty good. (although some of the text explanation is hard to understand without context).. I used cabal to set up the starter project. Sublime editor seems to work OK and I just use the git Bash shell on windows to compile the program directly on the command line. So maybe this is all good enough for now (?). It seems installing... Source: over 1 year ago
