I'd second Erlang. It's a lot of fun first learning. I know when I went through Armstrong's book on it, the first 5-6 chapters were mostly just "okay, so an intro to the syntax and functional programming", then when the meat of the language hit, it was a big fat "whoa...this is crazy."

I'm glad HN had that crazy "Erlang Day" a few years ago, as that was Erlang's first blip on my radar. Thanks HN :)
