I was reading through an answer to a question about an IDE for Go that triggered this question.
I was trying to think of a language that 'required' an IDE, but could not come up with one.
Many of the "graphical languages" more or less require an IDE. They aren't particularly popular at the moment, but the general idea is a "language" where you create programs by drawing some sort of diagram. Depending on the intended market, you frequently see something with a flavor or UML or ERD or even flowcharting, depending on the intended market, age of the tool, and level of obfuscation versatility and ease of use the inventor/vendor desires.
While most of these allow you to store the data in some sort of more or less textual format, they consider the diagram (of whatever sort) to be the language, and anything else is only a way of storing/recreating the diagram.
Some types of 4G Languages would probably come up as requiring an IDE (being an IDE themselves).
All Smalltalks I know of except for GNU Smalltalk are very deeply integrated with their development environments.

I am looking for languages / libraries which allows searching over AST for given language using selectors (ie. "/function(int, int)" to find all functions with given signature or "namespace(name=xxx)/method(name=yyy*)" to find all methods starting with yyy in given namespace).
I know there is always possibility to convert AST to XML and use XPath / XQuery, but i'am looking for something built in or easily integrable with a language.
This is practical :https://live.gnome.org/GObjectIntrospection/
as well as the gcc plugin dehydra : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Dehydra
LLVM has a bunch of projects : http://llvm.org/ProjectsWithLLVM/
This is theoretical: http://www.complang.org/colm/ but could be interesting.

My focus when I was playing with things like this originally was specifically Java-oriented, also using the Eclipse AST tools. This isn't language-agnostic, and most of the tools I'm aware of aren't either.
It does, however, include some links to projects (I've only played with two of them, and not for quite some time) that may give you ideas, although it's not clear to me what kind of information you want from an answer. ASTs themselves are tied tightly to implementations.

I have dealt and used JavaScript and am quite comfortable with it. However I was wondering if I should learn another one. Is there another language out there that used more widely or has more use in the business industry? And could you also recommend a good book for it?
Should you learn a new programming language?
Yes, you surely should.
Which one then?
I don't know. Why don't you pick one related to your expertise? Or something wildly different from what you know.
Which book is the best one?
Go to the library or a book shop. Flip some books through. Most likely, one of those books is good enough. But nothing beats learning to look up API reference on the net.
EDIT: Question from the comments:
What's the most popular and widely used?
You can use the TIOBE Community Index to look up popular programming languages. However, you shouldn't use that as a deciding factor as things may differ locally to you. I've never done C professionally (which is apparently the most "popular" language according to TIOBE), so it all depends on what you want to do.

Apart from C, C++, Delphi, VB, can you put an example of a relatively "modern" COMPILED* programming language* supporting things like OO, collections, GUI libraries?
Please do not mention experimental or academic only languages, I'm looking for something used in the real world, for PCs 80x86, and I don't mind about the OS.
Thanks!
*UPDATED: Compiled to native code.
*DISCLAIMER:
For language understand language implementation.
For compiled to native code understand not interpreted.
Haskell.

Cython. Compiles to native code, is used in high performance computing, both academic and commercial, and is used to implement LXML. GUI libraries include all those available for Python.
Also, Objective-C. That's now one of the most popular programming languages.
Wikipedia has a lot: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_programming_languages

Urgently want to know best UML designing tool in Linux?
Which Also Support ERD
Is it Possible to use in NetBEANs IDE 6.9.1
Almost all UML tools are Linux compliant.
Try Papurus with Eclipse or BOUML which are free and open source. RSA is pretty good as well as Omondo but not free.
I use and prefer Umbrello.
ArgoUML is also quite good but its GUI bugs will drive you mad...
I never had any problems with dia. It's part of gnome, almost all distributions package it. Also has a Windows version but I didn't use that one for a long time. Of course, "best" is relative to what you are expecting from it.

I am considering which scheme to use.
I would like to use a scheme that has or can be compiled to have no threading support. I have to avoid the layers that threading libs provide. I want an implementation that has no code for interpreter locks, etc. Something that can compile to C is ideal. This will be Unix only. Chicken and Gambit are my first choice with TinyScheme as an alternative strategy.
I want to use this scheme as the replacement for a ruby app that I have now. This is why it has to be a decent scheme, it has to have rich support for strings, hashes, regex, dictionaries, etc.
Any such beast out there?
You might try Chibi Scheme or Larceny. I don't think that either of them have threading. Chibi runs on a VM, Larceny compiles to native code. I expect that Larceny's support for various libraries will be better.
