That sounds about right in terms of priorities. Clojure is an important up-and-comer, but Ruby's a major part of the ecosystem these days. (It's about five years ahead of Scala on the curve, the language I was burbling about in 2001.)
And Haskell is the grand-daddy of modern functional programming, the language from which everybody else is taking their ideas. (Plus, Learn You a Haskell For Great Good is the best language tutorial *ever*, and makes the process relatively pleasant.)
But yeah, I'm pretty much sold on CoffeeScript as at least the right tool for now. I suspect that my own personal projects are going to start using it soon...
