I'm currently enjoying writing programs in Forth. Mainly just small programs for now that automate parts of my job.

I think I like Forth because you are extending the language and creating a new language in the process. It has the expressiveness of Lisp while being a lot closer to the hardware and really simple to implement and use. It is both high level and low level at the same time. Control structures such as if/while/repeat aren't part of a special syntax of the language, they're just Forth words (word = function) that are executed at compile time of another word.
