There are no experts in language design in this field. While you might feel strongly that some things are very wrong, it doesn't mean that "the right way" you have in mind was designed by professionals. Academically-influenced languages are pretty bad at this too.
It's hard to admit, but all of the languages we have are of amateurish quality.

Does the "wrong" way always tragically win in the marketplace of ideas? Maybe our (sub)culture has a screwed up idea of what "right" is?
