Gotta admit I've never really warmed up to C++. I can appreciate that the community has evolved in a much better direction through the years, but I always feel like there's a wall of complexity between me and loving the language :)

C# is a horse of a different color. There's a lot to like about that language, and I've definitely considered investing in it several times, especially with Mono making it a cross platform tool.

Javascript is another one I have trouble with. I can appreciate that a prototypal object system is a powerful thing, but I just find myself ending up with pretzel brain trying to reason about how a given piece of code is supposed to work.
