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!

C++ is like C# but with *true* templates.
C++ is like Java with the ability to do systemlevel programming and without the slowiness.
C++ is like C but with RAII.

If you can learn C#, you can learn C++.
If you can learn C, you can learn C++.
If you can learn Java, you can learn C++.

Haskell is a functional language. C++ is a procedural object-oriented language. Comparing Haskell to C++ is like comparing a smelly, sticky turdball to a delicious, juicy, shiningly red apple.

It doesn't work like that.
You can compare OCaml to Haskell.
You can compare Erlang to Haskell.
You can compare MetaLua to Haskell.
And you can do this because these languages are functional.

But you can't compare a procedural language to a functional language.

Aside from that, Haskell doesn't have an intendation based syntax. The indentation is purely optional, since Haskell allows blocks with {}.

Now kindly take your OMGHAKSAL, and go back to /g/. Thank you.
