I have been programming in C since 1981, though for the first 10 years or so I thought in pdp-11 assembly language while doing so.
I learned lisp in college, wrote a small lisp interpreter with the primitives in pdp-11 FORTRAN-IV and assembly and the rest in lisp in college. Have not used it much since then.
Wrote a smalltalk interpreter in C some time in the 1980s or 1990s. Switched to much better open source implementations later.
Haven't tried Haskell yet.

You missed SNOBOL, TCL, and FORTH. All of these are very different than the usual fare.

Yeah I agree I left a lot of languages. Maybe I will do a second part
