Which program language would most excite you to want to contribute to an open-source project, all else being equal?

This poll has me thinking about abandoning the Ruby choice (what I was going to go with)... leaning towards Haskell now. Python maybe too but it is the least enjoyable of the 4 for me...

@freemo I would like to contribute to something Haskell in the future but I feel like I would have so much to learn to actually get to a point where I'm able to contribute. whereas the other languages are way less intimidating but also less exciting.

excitement: Haskell > Ruby > Python > Java

actual ability: Python, Ruby > Haskell > Java

@conatus I am of a similar opinion

excitement: Haskell > Ruby > Python > Java

expiernce: Java > Ruby/Python > Haskell

@freemo Yeah I've never worked with Java, only Kotlin for some android stuff, but I don't have any intrest in using or learning Java.

Before I was working on my thesis/graduation project I was working through haskellbook.com so I think I will pick that up again when I graduate in a month (fingers crossed).

@conatus This project will need a good portion in java or another JVM language due to the need for the JVM for what I'm doing (a cross-language framework). But luckily this component in particular there is more freedom in picking a language.
