What's a fun, unique language to learn in a few days? Not talking about esotericlanguages.

Unique as in not too similar to the industry standards, with interesting features, even if they might not be very utilitarian.

>industry standards

What industry?

Web?
That's php, Ruby, python and JavaScript

Desktop?
That's Java, c# and c++

Games?
C++ and lua

Mobile?
Java, Swift, obj-c

You have to be more specific.

However, if you truly want a language that is uniquely not used in any industry, might I recommend Haskell

Scala.

If you already know Java, it isn't too hard to write code that compiles in Scala.

It's super easy to pickup, but hard to master and start using the functional components and understanding all the common libs. Especially since Scala is huge and has a million different ways to write unmanageable code.

But if you're looking for something to play around with on a free weekend, go for it.
