Interesting languages not on the list:

* io : http://www.iolanguage.com

      Clean, minimalistic, prototype based OO.
* Reia : http://wiki.reia-lang.org

       Ruby-like syntax on Erlang's VM
* Curry : http://www-ps.informatik.uni-kiel.de/currywiki

      Functional logic language :  Prolog+Haskell.
* Oz/Mozart : http://www.mozart-oz.org

      Multi-multi paradigm language, includes constraint based programming.
Some of them are not necessarily up-and-coming but rather out-and-going. Oz is interesting, but it seems to be dying. Some like Reia are making slow progress. Curry is more of an academic language. io is probably the most up-and-coming so to speak.



Google Go looks interesting too.

http://code.google.com/p/go/

"Go is an expressive, concurrent, garbage-collected systems programming language."

Already in production on some internal projects.


Cobra (http://cobra-language.com/), a python derivative that also an up and coming language. Love the syntax refinements, the built in unit-testing, contracts, etc... all around a great language.


Reia is currently my wet dream language, similar to Ruby, and does concurrency(buit on top of BEAM for Christs sakes). And then you read the small print and learn that it's not available as a download. :<

Can't wait until it's ready though.


The repo is available at http://github.com/tarcieri/reia

Is it just too unusable right now?


Actually I havn't tried, I'm busy with work that does not in any way require Reia so I don't have time.

There's plenty of things I'd love to do with it when I've got time though.


Falcon (http://www.falconpl.org/) seems interesting too.


I'm curious, what interesting features does it have?
