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.

Yep. And they don't even need to return the same type, either, so you can actually use conditionals sanely.

Okay, now make print(({'a','b','c'})[1]) output b instead of c.
