I blame C++. Not just that it lacks any runtime type information by default, hindering any attempts to interface with compiled code. Heck, even interfacing with C++ source is hard. It also comes with the mindset that this is somehow an advantage and with derision against other "scripting" languages. For example C is better in this regard, it easier to call library functions without access to source code. And it's equally as fast.
