You forgot to add the part where, once the features are added after all, they stop being "unnecessary" complexity :)

- Extensive laundry lists of frustrations, sharp edges, antipatterns, and ways the language makes it trivial to write incorrect code are dismissed as nits or minor annoyances.
- Missing features that have no way of being worked around are dismissed off-hand as unnecessary complexity.
- The language authors repeatedly ignore mistakes learned from other language projects and rush headlong right back into them, with predictable consequences.
- Verbosity is mistaken for "simplicity" while bugs scaling roughly linearly with lines of code is quite literally one of the few reliable bits of data we actually have in this industry.
