language aesthetics

Hi,

I often worry that I've become so 'comfortable' with python that I may
end turning into a language bigot not appreciating the ideas and
motivations behind other language designs. As a counter to this, I
usually take it upon myself to put some effort into learning how other
languages do it. At times this leads to wonderful and rewarding
journeys (e.g. haskell), and at other times, I run away screaming back
to pythonistan (e.g.
http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2003/04/09/synopsis.html ).

My question is: what other languages 'fit' the common aesthetic (if it
exists) of a pythonista?

Cheers,


Sandy
