Fanbois hate it when someone points at the flaws in their favorite language. I still cannot comprehend why. As much as I like Haskell and Standard ML, if someone pointed out their flaws (Haskell: lame module system, needing arcane hacks to selectively introduce strictness; SML: no open sum types, no applicative functors even when generative ones do not make sense), I would not take issue with that. Realizing our tools are not perfect is the first step to improving them.

I have nothing against Google, but their programming languages (at least, the ones that I know of), Dart and Go, are really mediocre and uninspiring. For all their bad reputation, Microsoft at least has F# and is indirectly involved in the development of Haskell. Even Microsoft's take at an objected-oriented language for the uneducated masses, C#, is much better than the Google- and Apple-endorsed alternatives (Java and Objective-C).
