If you're actively participating in language development, you should at least know Factor, Nemerle, and Alice ML. The author of Cat also has a strong online presence although he's not widely considered a genius unlike the authors of Factor and LuaJIT and Walter Bright. Slava Pestov is a real world hardcore badass developer and his Factor is *The* stack language to rule them all.
