1. What language(s) are you most productive in?
2. What language(s) dislike you and why (but no ``GC IS SHITE'', that's not an argument and you know that)?
3. How many projects have you released as opensource yet?
Optional:
4. How would your language look like, if you would have to create one from scratch?
5. What is your favourite software license(s)?
And if you feel brave enough, post your github/gitorious/git.or.cz/bitbucket/or-other-public-source-hosting-service account!

1. C, Sepples, Unix shell script.
2.
Python: too much loose typed, inconsistently designed, extremely ugly and slow.
Lisp: extremely ugly, backwards-thinking, unproductive. Good only for very specific problems.
3. None, I don't believe in the Open Source business model. I don't beg for donations; I charge.
4. A straightforward language, strongly typed, mostly imperative. Not yet sure if object-driven, but probably not. No "preprocessors", but a powerful macro system (or a sane template-based typing) is also of much use. Not a single aspect, language-wise, directed to low-level issues or performance -- the compiler should do the right thing and don't cripple the program with para-syntax. The least amount of UBs as possible, detectable either with static analysis or well-placed runtime checks (or both).
5. Me as an user, GPL. Me as a developer, the most closed-source, profit-making, freedom-taking license possible.
