So /prog/, it's time for me to invest some free time in learning. I'm a good C/C++ programmer, I also know haskell, python, java and lua.

What do you suggest me to put resources into?

I'm a Java programmer and I've got some great results from stimulating my prostate using various tools.

Never tried it. So, what are the advantages of using scheme?

It's fun and powerful. If that's not enough for you you should give up (no offence, just a tip).

I know it's functional, but what are the advantage w.r.t. Haskell, by example?

Learn some x86 assembly.

It's a different language. Try it.

What >>8 said, but after you do that, read SICP and also learn Common Lisp.

Actually I would be interested in SIMD and SSE extension: should be possible to write good code with awesome performances with them!

People always say they "know" languages X, Y, and Z, when they just have familiarity with them. Try writing something interesting in one of those languages. Something that you or other people actually want to use. Something non-trivial.

If you're always "learning something new" and never creating things, you'll always be in the crowd of people that's all talk. You can do better than that.

Some non-assembler languages will do SIMD optimization. Clay and Io will both make use of SSE, for example (Io does it automatically, not sure about Clay.)

any recent x86 C/C++ compiler can use SSE for FP (it's the default for FP on OS X gcc), and x86-64 C/C++ compilers will use SSE as well.

Great. I think >>11 is more interested than I am.
