What's a neat, underrated Programming Language?

I'm planning on taking an independent study class where I take a semester to learn a language other than your average VB, Java, C++ etc. So, what's a language that you've had experience with that isn't quite as well known as some of the big names?

Run, run fast , run long. It may be interesting because it was one of the first attempts at an object-oriented language. Many times I wished the private and public sections of a C++ class could be defined in separate .h files like ADA allows.

How about COBOL. Still in use today.

I've heard horrible things about ada. I've heard that haskell can be pretty cool. Never used either. Python is cool.

Most that complain about ADA are those that resent the contraints that imposes on shooting ones self in the foot.

Strong typecasting and cleanup. Cheating not allowed.

 
Learn Forth.

The entire language is based around a Stack. Generally used for embedded systems and robotics, but can be used to make applications as well. Look up the book Thinking Forth.
