KAC, i'm with you on Lisp, though i think i would do Haskell over Smalltalk; Haskell has had it's day view in human behavioral simulation recently that came out in a game, that came out to be so cool it was and is still being studied by researchers at various universities. As i think behavioral simulation is something you are interested in (from what i think i know about you) that may be a language worth learning and putting higher up then Smalltalk, though i think you should battle with Lisp first
