Unless you’re writing instructions for a Turing machine the impedance mismatch between the real world and “computing” is always going to have idiosyncrasies. You don’t have to like a language to understand its design goals and trade offs. There are some very popular languages with constraints or designs that I feel are absurd, redundant, or counterproductive but I cannot think of a (mainstream) language where I haven’t seen someone much smarter than me do amazing things. The language I consider the lamest, biggest impediment to learning computer science is used by some of the smartest people on the planet to build amazing things.
