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!

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.
