A language that does NOT have as many features and limits more what you can do is NOT a strictly worse language. You can never say a language is worse than another, anyway, in general: it's always relative to what usage you have in mind. Your apparent disdain for a language just on the basis of the language features shows that you have a lot to learn about language economics, mentioned in other threads here.

On the contrary, it takes zero knowledge or experience to say "hurr durr use the right tool for the job"; anyone who has real knowledge and experience should have actual views on which things are good and bad overall.
