What I found off putting is they lie about what they are doing by claiming there are 'technical' reasons[1] it has to be that way. When other languages prove that's utter BS.

I'd have more respect if they just came out and said, this style cause hey we don't want conflicts over style and since our language our way or highway. And this feature is abused a lot in other languages (we think) so we omitted it.

[1] I hate that programmers habitually lie about technical issues, especially to management and others. Because those people are as dumb as programmers think. It's why your non technical manager doesn't trust you.
