Re: Which language to learn?

Haskell and Oz. Both are new but I don't know what to choose. I want
the language to be easy to learn. If you have a suggestion for a third
language or you can help me select between those two ,please do it.

Erlang's nice - it's functional, and it's used in the 'real world'.
