New Year's Resolutions

A couple of years back, the Pragmatic Programmers had this sage advice:

Learn at least one new [programming] language every year. Different languages solve the same problems in different ways. By learning several different approaches, you can help broaden your thinking and avoid getting stuck in a rut.

For 2002, Haskell was presented as the LOTY choice - pretty good choice. But since that time, the authors became enamored of the Ruby way, and have failed to submit a nominee for subsequent annums. My personal choice for the coming year is tender young Alice. Anyone else have their dates picked out? Or are you all into the Language of the Week per our dear moderator?
