Looks like someone setup a blog just to gripe about Euphoria:
http://codehereandthere.blogspot.com/2015/05/lets-design-horrible-language.html
I found this on reddit.com/r/programming (referencing the above):
http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/34kza1/lets_design_a_horrible_programming_language/
Seems harmless. Most of the criticism seems to apply to 3.1.1 and older. (E.g., 4.0 doesn't use the .exw filetype anymore, 4.1 already supports 63bit integers, etc.) Even then the author still gets some things wrong (3.1.1 had the .ew type for windoze specific includes), so I'd take the accuracy of that with a grain of salt or two.
Also, the blog is brand new (set up May 2015 it looks like) and only has one post. I woudln't be surprised if the next post is about some entirely different and unrelated programming language (either a 2nd horrible one, or a counter example of a well designed one).
