ps. I once read about Icon as language and somehow that one also had some appeal. I never had a running environment. Smalltalk is also nice, esp the (original) books (esp the historic one), it's easy to try squeak http://www.squeak.org/
and Lisp (in relation to tex) also has some appeal. True, see http://www.nongnu.org/skribilo/ (there is also a context support) A binding to libguile should be no difficult to achieve.
Live is too short to learn all those languages and stay fluent in them, i.e. one simply forgets a lot when usage zeros. we should start to think how to to become immortal.
