I recall being asked a variation: Given your two strongest languages, which features from each one do you miss when programming in the other, and why?
I find it interesting to that the question "Which features do you miss when using a language?" is not equivalent to "Which features would you add to the language?" The former feels like it speaks to my vision of my personal style, while the latter can be construed to include all of the pragmatic concerns of adoption, such as features
alleged to assist large teams of indifferent programmers or features that would break backwards compatibility.
