guess the language! 

unnecessary indirection,
unnecessary allocation,
unnecessary bound checks,
runtime type information,
overuse of abstractions,
global state in libraries,
long names.
repeated half-assed reference counting,
repeated half-assed implementations of common data structures/algorithms,
tons of fragile platform specific code.

guess the language! 

@namark
I am not sure if it is Python or Java. I would not call it half-assed in Python, so perhaps its the latter?

@ashwinvis didn't know Java was so bad. I assumed it wouldn't have
global state in libraries, long names, repeated half-assed reference counting and tons of fragile platform specific code... though I have heard some horror stories about Java ME.
