Programming languages that don't suck

Lisp, Scheme and Haskell are the obvious ones. JavaScript is a nice language. C always has its place. C# might be the jewel of enterprise.

What else is there that /prog/ recommends? I've heard good things about ML. A language that seems interesting from its Wikipedia page is Self, but I'm not too sure about it.

Ah yes, Lua. They're brilliant, starting arrays at one. And the logic is impeccable -- people are dumb, so let's not use the number zero. Hey I have an idea for a really revolutionary programming language that even half-brained imbeciles will be able to use -- let's start arrays at TWO!
