There are languages whose designers don't consider elegance or simplicity a main priority, e.g., C++.
> intuitiveness
It doesn't make sense to talk about intuitiveness without reference to a specific person's intuitions. Intuition is the ability to arrive at “probably correct” conclusions without performing a rigorous logical inference. Reliable intutions doesn't arise in a vacuum: they are the product of experience and hard work. Thus, advertising a language as “intuitive” without further qualification is meaningless at best, and a lie at worst.
