Character Sketches
Lua
The compact Swiss army knife that fits in any pocket. Lua is so small and embeddable that it powers everything from World of Warcraft to nginx configs without anyone noticing.
Haskell
The beautifully dressed philosopher who can't find their car keys. Haskell writes the most elegant code in any language, then spends 45 minutes explaining why IO is actually a monad.
