I wish we could move beyond this idea that just because someone uses a particular language their code is going to be poorly written.
But is true that some languages make some kind of bad/problematic code MORE common, and requiere discipline and/or knowledge to combat it (and like in this case, is likely that the avg developer is not aware of the alternatives at all.)
But a language is not just syntax and a compiler, it is an ecosystem. And for good or bad, programmers rely on and are influenced by this ecosystem.
