Slam them hard

Someone said your language sucks? Slam them back!

• C/C++/Java
  switch control structure is terrible because of one small issue: fall-through by default. Making break the default behavior and using continue to fall-through would make it perfect. But, not to be...
• C
  1. Where are the simple data structures like list?
  2. Working with strings?
• C++
  1. Changed widely used header by accident?
  2. Oops, forgot the copy constructor again?
  3. Great new compiler, now template error messages are only two pages long!
• C#
  1. Works on every platform as long as it's Windows. Mono? Have you at least tried it?
  2. When invoking delegate, you have to check if it's not null! Why?!
• Java
  1. Need to return two values from method again?
  2. When compiling Java became faster than C++, then Maven was invented...
  3. Java <=1.4: who needs templates, store plain objects in collections, Java >=1.5: generics!
  4. Java <=1.7: interfaces are absolutely abstract, anything else would be insane! Java 1.7: great news, you can now provide default implementation in the interface!
  5. Terrible slowness on a large scale and you can scale it even further!
• Python, JavaScript, Perl, Ruby
  1. Mistyped variable again when assigning?
  2. Added extra argument to widely used function?
• JavaScript
  1. Forgot to write var... in two places...
  2. Object is function and function is object, but you can't call this function, because it's not a function
  3. Fragility of C + the power of C++ + extra ammunition
