what is a good alternate language to learn? i just want something to
expand my mind and hopefully reduce or delay any chance of

learned python _before_ these languages.
haskell, erlang, ocaml, mozart/oz, rebel, etc.
I did a little bit Haskell at university. IMHO it's a very interesting
language to expand your mind. I never used it for real programming
though.
i don't require any of these features, but extra browny points for any
of the following:
interactive interpreter
HUGS
batteries included
Not with the standard library but AFAIK GHC comes with alot of things
can integrate with c
AFAIK there are some tools
compiles to native code
GHC
can use a gui toolkit such as wx
AFAIK there are at least Gtk bindings
doesn't take 60 hour weeks over years to master
It may take you some time get the idea of pure functional programming
(no loops, no assignment, ...)
