That's definitely one path towards spaghetti code. An inexperienced developer can make a mess of their own codebase without contributors also though. I do agree that it's very rarely the result of an actual defect in the chosen programming language. You can write clean code in almost any general purpose programming language, and conversely, you can write bad code in any language as well.
