Once you programmed in a few different languages you get the sense that they'll all facets of the same underlying space and while that in no way makes them equivalently useful for any particular task it does make the language wars a bit more exhausting.

Prolog is pretty different, if you haven't tried it before. Pure FP, obviously, but it sounds like you've tried Haskell already.

Prolog is super fun! Played around with it post Erlang because Joe Armstrong made it sound brain expanding in the same way the LISPers romanticized LISP. (Both being true, too.)

Are you sure that you are not a programming languages researcher disguised as a comp. social scientist? A farrago of interesting PL concepts/artifacts for your procrastination (just in case you are unaware of them): call/cc, quines, co-routines.

Honestly, I find them endlessly cool and fascinating and had things gone slightly differently for me...
