Programming languages are built for people to use them; if everyone is bad at using them, than yes, that's the languages fault. If your hammer has no head, it's not your fault for not swinging the stick hard enough.

Lol, it still comes down to the users. If a language really is so "terrible" then people shouldn't use it. Brainfuck was created as a joke, as a proof of concept, and some hardcore nerds decided to actually use it, but no one in their right mind uses it for real world applications.
And really most discussions about whether a language is good or bad revolve around .NET, PHP, and JavaScript or the C, C++, C#, Java arguments.
These are all languages uses by hundreds of thousands of devs globally. And in each of them, the language is not the problem. The devs understanding of the language is.
