Last year I used mainly crystal. This year I'm thinking pharo smalltalk, if I can pick it up in time

I also want to do visualizations, not sure how possible that is with smalltalk.

Going with c# again. I know the language super well but don't often have a chance to get really deep into it with the stuff at work. These often present very non typical problems that require lesser used features.

C# is like a black hole for me. Ever since I started using it, I have been unable to really get into anything else.

If I would have learned it later, I could have learned five other languages instead ( really learned, I have still played with a bunch ).

I'd advise to pick up at least a second language for your non-critical projects. At first it feels so uncomfortable, but as you gain proficiency, you'll see it's a real ego boost. You realise that there really isn't anything you can't learn.
