@hwpplayer1 My personal suggestion: Common Lisp because despite it is a little strange initially, it is a very fun language to use, thanks to Its interactive and live dev-environment.
If you want to learn and maybe "earn", then also Clojure, because it is moderately interactive, but you can use it on the JVM.
Initially follow a book.
@hwpplayer1 If you are already using IRC, there is also the IRC channel #clschool
@mzan I'll check thanks
