Off topic, but can anyone recall a language in the past that garnered a similar amount of kvetching as javascript? Did ASM / LISP people feel this way about C?

Off topic, but can anyone recall a language in the past that garnered a similar amount of kvetching as javascript? Did ASM / LISP people feel this way about C?
