For what it's worth, people say the same thing about PHP; how do you feel about that language? As Stroustrup fittingly said: "There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses." How can you know the downsides and warts of something you haven't used in a wide range of applications? Are you honestly saying there won't be any? Granted, an old, proven language will have far more warts than a fresh one that's still idealistic. Fixing old warts introduces new ones etc. But I don't believe in the one true language.
