You're going from "don't call it a general purpose language" to "be receptive to complaints about its short-comings". There's quite a gap in between.

I know that contributers are receptive about short-comings. And if you frankly prefer other languages, then that's totally fine too.

Short-comings are intrinsingly related to its general purposeness. Tiny standard library is one of them. Not being able to put things into production is another.

I guess I see general purpose languages such as Python and Go as rock solid. They have warts but they're well understood and wrinkles have been ironed out.
