Not every country thinks the same way.</p>

<p>Wait HECK how&#39;d I type ALL OF THAT, including the note about &quot;no Objective-C&quot; (reasoning: it&#39;s too much C) but forget Smalltalk/Self</p><p>Are there any languages I should know about that are like, &quot;Smalltalk is to X&quot; as Erlang is to Elixir or Scheme is to Racket? Or am I just describing Self here. What&#39;s a modern Smalltalk environment look like. Is Dave Ungar&#39;s magical Self IDE still publicly available. Was it ever public or did you just have to be in that one room in Mountain View in 2004 to see it</p>
<p>This is my list of candidate languages. ⭐ means I feel comfortable and ready to go in the language. β˜† means a language I&#39;ve used but am for whatever reason not confident I could do an AOC challenge in. Totally interested in suggestions for languages I am missing from my list, opinions as to whether Scheme and Racket are the same language, etc.</p><p>Goal here is personally/professionally enriching language tourism so I can be broad minded I expect. Maybe no intentional tarpit languages this time tho.</p>

<p>Bonus rules</p><p>- ASM may be used more than once as long as it targets different language families (x86_64, RISCV, ARM, WASM).<br />- JavaScript and TypeScript are the same language.<br />- Rust and Unsafe Rust may be potentially counted as two different languages.<br />- I may use Perl/Python to &quot;preprocess&quot; file inputs into arrays of numbers or strings (but no more complex parsing) in the target language<br />- If I make an honest attempt at a language and fail, I may retry in Go (but only Go) (I need to learn Go)</p>
