My compulsive frequent jumps to new programming languages have also settled down after learning Clojure, for pretty much the same reasons. I never really felt comfortable with any languages I've messed with, even as a novice programmer. I just feel so at home with Clojure and yet there is so much to learn and improve on that I should be busy with it for awhile. It really is a masterful blend of beauty and practicality.

I've had the same frequent jumps between programming languages, most have never really felt right. I always loved C, but C is very handicapped for a lot of things I have to do. Erlang was close, communication processes really felt right. I once come across a language called 'Alef' which I feel in love with. But sadly it was no longer in development. Lucky for me 'Alef' closest cousin 'Go' was released in late 2009 and I've been focusing on that ever since.

A nice thing about Go is that is a relatively small language, and you can grasp the whole language and have a chance of holding the whole thing in your head without going insane in the process.

And despite that, it has plenty of interesting and fun parts like the implicit-interfaces type system, etc.
