Poll: What's the programming language you want to learn most?

27 points by sb ↗ HN
To complete the trinity of programming languages questions/polls, I think it would be nice to know which of the following languages fellow HN'ers want to learn most. Particulary interesting should be a comparison with the TIOBE index and see if their trends on a large scale compare well with the results of this poll.

Stop this, please. You're slowly turning HN into Reddit. There has never been, and will never be, intelligent discussion arising from a poll. This is not insight; this is gossip.

Seriously? No. Do this on Reddit.

Fascinating that so many people want to learn Haskell. Did not expect that.

I've been looking for things to replace/compile-to JavaScript lately. I've been messing around with Dart, which was my first experience with any form of static typing. The typing, among other features of the language, I enjoyed. I'm not sure if it's developed enough at this point, though, to be used in larger apps. Maybe that's just me.

I just decided to check out CoffeeScript. I think its syntax is fantastic, so far. Maybe a bit too spoken-language like ("yes" is equivalent to "true"?), but I haven't really done anything with it yet.
