People often think you are somebody else. You tend to be annoying to most people, but it's not your fault. You just get used. You are JavaScript. People often think you are somebody else.

You enjoy looking for different ways to solve a problem. You take longer to solve them, but usually come up with more than one solution ;) You are Prolog.

I suspect my answers were basically all over the map, such that whichever happened to be most lucky was what was chosen. This might be interesting if the authors had actually made an effort to choose non-leading questions regarding language personalities, but since it didn't there's not much to get out of it.
