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.

I'd like to nominate Caml/ML. It offers the same speed as Haskell thanks to strong typing and easy type inference(unlike Lisp), and allows mutable variables without the pain of dealing with monads.

Really? I'd much rather use JavaScript or C# in place of fucking Python and Ruby.

I also nominate Objective-C as the worst C-based language.
