Hard to disagree with that! Though it does have some redeeming features: it's statically typed, runs pretty fast, has absolute rock solid code intelligence (the best of any language in my experience) and a ton of learning resources.

Unfortunately it's ridiculously verbose and static typing isn't inferred.
