This is just a giant page of FUD. Every language has flaws and using languages effectively means knowing what those flaws are and how they affect your program's processes. Does Lisp code produce unmaintainable masses of code? Perhaps. Ever read the IOCCC entries? Or pull apart exactly what a given Ruby script is actually doing? Yet people write good software using these languages all of the time and the world hasn't blown up yet.
