Which new language should I learn? [SOLVED]

Haskell and Python have gotten boring. Ruby is basically python with some added crap and SLOW-er AS FUCK. Factor is too stack based. Javascript (including derivatives), Racket and Common Lisp is too crap and Chez Scheme is too proprietary. Clojure is too JVM, {{C,F}#,Scala,Boo,Nemerle,Cobra,etc.} is too Microsoft, Oz is horribly ugly, Prolog is too logic oriented.

I usually use Haskell and Python. Python is inherently boring, and I've lately done a crapton of repetitive Haskell programming which has temporarily ruined it for me. I recently wrote a few lines of PHP, and even though it sucked hard due to all PHPs faults, it was kind of fun. I miss the tricks with magical methods to hack in multiple inheritance, custom functionality in mixins depending on special syntax in comments read through reflection, and … wait.

Oh, god, I just figured it out: Perl 6.

>>10
I was thinking about:
>> f: func [ g h ] [ g 2 h 3 4 ]
>> f func [ x y ] [ x + y ] func [ x y ] [ x * y ]
== 14
>> f func [ x y z ] [ x + y * z] func [ x ] [ x ]
== 20


This wakes confusing emotions in me.
