I can't think of many wats. There are questionable design 
decisions, annoying things that look like they should compile but 
don't (local variable alias to non-global template errors 
anyone?) and performance pitfalls, but nothing so gloriously 
broken as what javascript achieves.

Coming from a C(++) perspective has prevented a lot of complete 
gibbering insanity from occurring. In particular, having a basic 
respect for data-layout at the machine level and an ethos of not 
doing very costly implicit type type-conversions has staved off a 
whole horde of crazy.
