OP, I didn't like Python because of its syntax, but then I gave it a go. It's an okay way to be lazy and just write code.

If you want something a bit more intellectually satisfying, try Lisp. No, really.

DL the following books in the following order:
Common Lisp: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation
Land of Lisp
Practical Common Lisp

I'm just "intermediate" but I can say that all the praise it's got is very well deserved. Just skip the mental masturbation stuff, and you'll be just fine.

(If you want an IDE, use the CUSP plugin for Eclipse. I have tried everything else and it's crap, unless you are an Emacs user. But then again, you would have to buy a prosthetic pinky finger in that case)

Pic related, it's me after "getting" Lisp.

I still saved it with the original 4chan image number.

Feels more "natural".
