Here are some lesser-known languages from Tolksdorf's list at
http://www.robert-tolksdorf.de/vmlanguages.html that I think are
pretty interesting -- I've at least read the docs and played around
with them a bit:

CAL: a lazy functional programming language close to Haskell

Aardappel: general tree rewriting language (like Q) using a purely
graphical syntax

TRS-80 Model I Basic:  just what it sounds like

Bistro: a variant of Smalltalk that compiles to bytecodes

dSelf:  Self, and with distributed execution too.  (Some docs are only
in German, but still fairly readable.)

PERCobol:  Cobol, no kidding.  (Not open source)

NetREXX:  Mike Cowlishaw's classic REXX language adapted to the JVM.

Also, don't forget Rhino.
