As a language both are insane in parts. Not just architecture but the muddle of tooling also.

Agree. Any language that's been around long enough is like that though. PHP is a good example. I've heard it called a hammer with no blunt end and 2 claws. You _can_ turn it on its side and hammer in the nail but... why? Lol. That said projects like Laravel show that you can write easy to use and, dare I say, beautiful code with it. Its just a matter of who is driving.
