Ok so its nearly come round to another year and I'm thinking of learning a new language.

I've narrowed the candidates to :-

F#
Python
Haskell
Erlang
R
OCaml

Current favourites are OCaml and F#.

Does anyone have any thoughts on the relative merits of these languages and which one might be worth learning and why ?

Python:

Merit: The only one ive heard of without using google.

non-Merit: Leaves a nasty bite.

 

My style is only to learn a new language when I have to!

I have enough trouble remembering the different syntax of 'if' statements between C, Perl and shell without making things worse!

From a job point of view Polish might be useful !

 

Or even 'Reverse Polish'?

I'm just going to sharpen my skills.
