Cobra - I've dabbled with it to see that it works nicely with my brain, but not enough to really know and grok all it has to offer.

The initial draw is that it is a python-like language for .Net (important since my day job is in .Net). And while I've dabbled with Boo and IronPython, Cobra seems to have removed most of the syntactic worts that I found w/ Python, as well as a few other features.

In particular, as someone who hasn't really done automated unit testing or contractual programming, I'm drawn to the fact that support for unit testing and contracts is built in. I like the python-like syntax as I find it easiest to learn new programming concepts in (which I can then generalize to my day-to-day work).
