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 think i should mention perl here.
i know its syntax is fucking bullcrap, but it gets shit done well and fast.

lisp and C are abvious on the list.

i also like lua, its quite nice as a scripting language.
