Racket is also worth a look if you're curious about programming language design as it is very easy to make small DSLs. It is also a great language and eco-system if you're looking for a playground to explore different programming concepts. The community is also very helpful.

I like Racket, but

You can install Racket directly from the download page or you must add the PPA https://launchpad.net/~plt/+archive/ubuntu/racket

Ubuntu includes a Racket package. It’s rarely if ever the latest, but certainly a reasonable starting point.
