Well... he's right
Its confusing and overly complicated, in its multiple syntaxes, for a
compiled language.

I'm personally of the opinion that it was written by a grad student who
purposely created it to be confusing to keep the market limited of perl
programmers, and/or to show off of just how complex he could make
something.. but it sure as hell wasn't designed to be user friendly, IMHO.

If nothing else there should be a compiler that would take a user friendly
syntax into a tighter code and back again.

Personally I wish I had learned Java or PHP.... but I don't have the time
right now to learn a new language.
