+1. Every time I'm feeling rather chuffed that I managed to crack a hard
problem, I go back and try some functional programming. It quickly
brings me back to the familiar "I'm not worthy" feeling every time I try
to work through SICP exercises.
Why just one? Personally, I would recommend you learn half a dozen
languages at a time - Lua, Io, Haskell, Clojure, Erlang, etc. Or
Javascript (I'm not kidding).
Or you could probably start with this:
