德尔菲:

IDE有点不稳定。 代码洞察有时令人困惑。 调试有时是有bug的。 更新多个项目文件可能会很麻烦。 如果启动时一个或多个包不可用，错误消息会弹出几次。

SAS

从不有自己的想法(一切都是借来的)。 贪婪于庞大的数据集。 使用Java，但从未学习过什么是对象。 窃取Perl，但将其隐藏在其数据步骤中。 统计学家总是撒谎!

VB6

仅Windows。 不再支持。 数组可以从任何数字开始，而不是全部归一化为0。 已编译的应用程序依赖于许多dll才能正常运行。 许多复杂的控件(如浏览器控件或复杂的代码段)在运行未编译的代码时往往会破坏IDE，但在编译后却可以正常工作。

Javascript;

the dynamic binding of "this" is very confusing and dangerous if you don't know exactly what you're doing. a function declaration requires the keyword "function". It's not the typing I object to, it's the reading it when I want to do something slightly clever. Hrm now I think of it maybe that's a plus. Discourages me from doing clever things. As a result of number 2, it's often less code (in terms of characters) to just copy/paste a code segment than to declare it as a function, if it's a fairly short idiom. This unfortunately promotes bad practice, especially in my own code. Javascript makes motions at being a functional language by having first class functions and closures, but there's no way to verify referential transparency in a function, at either runtime or compile time. Without this, some architectures become either risky or bulky. Its fantastically bad reputation, and thus my inability to say "I program in javascript" to anyone without being laughed at.

Ruby有许多与速度相关的缺陷，但我并不讨厌它们。它也有社区传福音过度的缺陷，但这并没有真正困扰我。以下是我最讨厌的:

Closures (blocks) have 4 different creation syntaxes, and none of them are optimal. The elegant syntax is incomplete and ambiguous with hashes, and the full syntax is ugly. The community tends to be against real documentation, favoring ‘read the code’. I find this childish and lazy. Metaprogramming abuse, particularly in libraries, makes bugs a nightmare to track down. On a related note, pervasive metaprogramming makes a comprehensive IDE difficult, if not impossible, to make. The way block passing to functions is done is silly. There is no reason blocks should be passed outside the parameter list, or have odd special syntax to access (yield). I am of the opinion that blocks should have been given a less ambiguous syntax (or hashes could have used different delimiters; perhaps <> rather than {}), and passing as parameters to methods should have been just like all other parameters. object.method(1, {|a| a.bar}, "blah") These oddities, like the block must be the last parameter passed and passing more than one block is different with longer syntax, really annoy me.

JavaScript

Function object syntax: f = new Function( "foo", "bar", "return foo+bar;" ); (It takes n arguments, the first n-1 are arguments for the function, then nth is the actual function, in string form. Which is just silly.) Function arguments can be repeated. f = new Function( "foo", "foo", "return foo;" ); The last repetition is the only one ever used, though: f( "bye", "hi" ) // returns "hi" f( "hi" ) // returns undefined E4X should just die. My users are always complaining that it doesn't work the way they think it will. Let's face it, when you need a page and a half of psuedocode for a setter, it's time to rethink things. A standard notion of stdin/stdout/stderr (and files!) would be nice. null != undefined It's irritating to have to handle them both. Sometimes it's useful, but most languages manage to limp along fine with one.
