What languages do you hate and why?

I've had a lot of discussions with my peers about certain languages they hate (like Typescript and Python), and I was wondering what feelings a larger community has about those and other languages out there.

i'm a software engineer and not a computer scientist, so this all comes from the view of writing and delivering working software.

i dislike interpreted languages for the most part. so python, javascript, groovy, perl, shell scripts, etc...

they're useful for quick and dirty things, but always come up short when trying to write easily maintainable code. you lose so much when you don't get compiler errors/warnings. it really only takes that first time your python script takes down prod because you forgot to write that one test case and that's something that would've been caught by a compiler in a compiled language.

the above is why i actually like typescript. it's nice to have actual classes and more logical scoping of variables in addition to getting trans-compilation errors/warnings.

i dislike java quite a bit because i've used c# and c# is just way more convenient to write.

i dislike php because old php allowed you to write such ugly code, new php is backwards compatible and i've also never really liked the way the syntax looked.

i dislike c++ because the people that write it constantly talk about performance and still write code that performs worse than it would in a managed language. not to mention all of the template and macro meta-programming that can make debugging a nightmare.

ehh, i can go on and on with dislikes. there are also likes to many of the languages i've listed.
