the official /prog/ reality check

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!

YES! THE ANTI-PYTHONAUTISTA DID A HASKELL VERSION OF THE KOPIPE! I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOUR POST! I READ IT 5 TIMES! KEEP POSTING!

GHC's slow stop-the-world GC does not scale.
Wait, using a stop-the-world GC?  For a serious programming language?  Seriously?

Haskell has The Optional Forced Indentation of Code, your last point is invalid.

 4. I am thinking x86 Assembly with C#-like classes

I, see...

1. What language(s) are you most productive in?
C/C++ (C-like C++)
2. What language(s) dislike you and why?
I find java incredibly difficult to work in; even though it does everything for you, I just seem to be less productive.

Pretty much every 'high level language' that's intended for general software development goes here.

3. How many projects have you released as opensource yet?
Lol. Anything I spend my spare time on really, really silly little utility programs. And by released, I mean "here you can have the source if you want it."

Optional:
4. How would your language look like, if you would have to create one from scratch?
Look like C++, but I'd change the function pointer syntax because it's insane. I'd probably do something with the preprocessor, maybe do something with the headers, not sure.

5. What is your favourite software license(s)?
I don't know, I don't really 'relase' my spare-time work under a license, it doesn't really bother me if someone steals my dicking around and puts their name on it.

I used to be sympathetic to those people who complained about Python's forced indentation of code, and then I saw how they formatted their code normally. Forcing indentation is perhaps the best thing Python has done for readability, and I will cry myself to sleep if it ever leaves.

1. C++, Python, Javascript
2. Java, C# - verbosity, garbage collector, kiddies who learn Java/C# in their Intro to CS class and never bother to learn anything else for the next 4 years and get confused when trying to understand pointers, having the audacity to not show embarrassment, but indignation.
Perl - for there being over 9000 ways to do something.
3. None
4. Extremely strong typing, forced indentation, fixing C++'s overstretched syntax.

Typical pythonista. Crippling a language so that retards seem harmless isn't a good thing.

Removing a tab isn't normally fatal,but on Python it is.
