such as? (i'm honestly curious, what you're thinking about)

Abstraction arguments are shittier in Pee Dee than in BASH (Bourne Shell). At least they're on par with those of .BAT files. The only two levels below that one are called GOSUB and GOTO.

I was a bit in a hurry when I wrote it so I only gave one example, but here are some more:

Pd doesn't have strings. Using symbols as strings is a memory-leak-by-design. If I had the choice between only symbols and only strings, I'd pick only strings.

Pd doesn't have error handling, even for such situations as file-not-found and no-method-for. (GW-BASIC had ON ERROR GOTO and RESUME; shells have error codes; ColorLOGO had nothing at all but did fit in 8k of ROM)

But I'm sure that you could add to that list.
