I don't doubt you're right — it makes me think of some of the legacy portions of Object Pascal — but can you give an example or two of what you are referring to

  * case sensitive symbols in C and its derivatives -- thank goodness I can declare int Int. * C declarations (experts can get into flamewars discussing good ways of reading C declarations) * C (and worse C++) keyword overloading * C strings * Most of C++ (i.e. most of C++ - C) * Most Java libraries * Objective C's declarations (which at least have gotten markedly better recently) * Perl's variable prefixes and subroutine declarations (even if you don't mind Perl's other quirks) * semantic whitespace in languages with semantic whitespace * PHP -- which I find useful and perfectly capable of supporting large projects -- is hilariously awful.
