I'm interested, amongst other things, in evolutionary/generative algorithms as applied to the arts.

I've followed roughly this lingual path: Smalltalk -> C/C++ -> Scheme -> Ruby -> Clojure -> Haskell

As for the last entry in the progression above, I'm still a noob, but I don't think there's any turning back, and from what I've seen so far, expect the Haskell road to be rich and rewarding.
