Pretty sure these are just "design mistakes", flat out.

  Mixed-langage projects can be incredibly powerful (e.g. NumPy doing the heavy lifting in C and the rapid development in Python) but it requires taste and experience to decide which bit of the system belongs on which side. And it's subtly but importantly different to just writing a binding to a C library.

    Right. I wasn't referring to the mixed language approach, rather I meant the overengineering he's talking about. Things like FactoryFactories can be understandably infuriating to work with.
