I don't think there's a single language on the planet that hasn't had skeptics, especially at the beginning. Remember how skeptical everyone was of Python at first due to its significant whitespace?

A large group of programmers still hates Python for this reason, to this day. They've just moved on and are probably completely ignoring Python these days.
Python has come a long way, but for domain reasons, the significant whitespace isn't my primary beef. Packaging is, because I haven't captured all the gnosis yet.
