language. Lua is free software. (Lua means moon in Portuguese.)

Nasal: Not another scripting language!
Another neat little programming language: very small, very simple but still rather complete. Somewhat like javascript in flavor, with functional programming and OO features. Designed to be easily embeddable as an extension language for applications.

Clojure is a dynamic programming language that targets the Java Virtual Machine.
It is designed to be a general-purpose language, combining the approachability and interactive development of a scripting language with an efficient and robust infrastructure for multithreaded programming. Clojure is a compiled language - it compiles directly to JVM bytecode, yet remains completely dynamic.
Clojure is a dialect of Lisp, and shares with Lisp the code-as-data philosophy and a powerful macro system. Clojure is predominantly a functional programming language, and features a rich set of immutable, persistent data structures. When mutable state is needed, Clojure offers a software transactional memory system that ensures clean, correct, multithreaded designs.

A (Re)-Introduction to JavaScript
Why a re-introduction? Because JavaScript has a reasonable claim to being the world's most misunderstood programming language. While often derided as a toy, beneath its deceptive simplicity lie some powerful language features.
