I didn't say, but, yes, I have looked at Ruby. It seems to be purpose-built for web stuff, which would help me with the web apps I'm wanting, but I don't know how well it would work for everything else.
Well, lisp was mentioned.
Which Debian Squeeze package do you recommend for "hello, world!" and STFW tutorials?
Did you say you've messed around with yacc/lex and their derivatives?
I've always thought of them as tools for building compilers.
And there's also Forth, but you say you want support for familiar paradigms, so that may not be such a good suggestion.
Forth looks similar to LISP. David
