If programming languages were tools, then they'd all have weird quirks like a screw driver that you have to hold with a reverse grip because otherwise it won't grip the screw, or a hammer that can magically hammer in screws as well as nails, but there's a weird bump on the handle that you have to keep your fingers off because otherwise it will pull the nail out instead of hammering it in.

Every programming language has these quirks, but some of them have more than others, and some quirks are more severe.

In that sense, is the screwdriver overrated? Really depends on whether you're comfortable gripping it like that.
