I wonder if similar comments were ever made about other programming
languages with as much true desire?

"Wow, I can't wait to get to use /* and */ to make actual comment blocks!"
(C)
"Gosh, I love line numbers!" (Basic)
"Why would I need more than two or three arguments to a command?" (Assembly
programmer)
"You mean blocks of code DON'T have to be in perfect columns?" (Fortran
programmer)
