It's certainly not an 'over exaggerated negative post', instead, it's a deliberated post intended to damage the Euphoria programming language.
Uh, the author took some pains to avoid hurting the reputation of this site (by hiding the name of the language, for example). So I'm not sure that this is correct.
I've read this shallow post, and its philosophy is suitable perfectly to an 8 years old child.
I think that some valid points were provided, like the lack of support for try..catch and the fact that many trival things (liek divide by zero) are fatal errors.
Perhaps most importantly, an E programmer should remember to initialize their variables to starting values. Failure to do so means that a variable is unset. Attempt to use a variable that is unset is an error. E shall not provide a None, null, nil, or other constant to test if a variable is unset.
Actually, the object() function allows you to test is a variable is unset...
