Ask HN: Which language to learn for long-term work
I would learn Java and the JVM if I wanted a language/platform for the long term.
Of the five you got there, I would go for Go. Or Clojure as a Lisp. Scala is also a good option.

+1 for Scala, it might be a good stepping stone, given your current "enterprisey" focus. Much easier to differentiate yourself than good old fashioned Java, yet not as esoteric (viewed from enterprise) as some of the languages in your list.
