I nomimate the following for "stretch languages":
Haskell
OCaml
Lisp
Smalltalk
Of those, at least two (and possibly Ocaml as a third with its strong
ML roots) have a history of over 20 years.
If this SIG is Python/Perl/Ruby, you are unlikey to get people with
knowledge of these stretch languages along.
