What? ActionListeners are bad?
I mean the stupid, stupid decision to not have function pointers thus requiring anything that's a callback to use an interface.
A decision they are *finally* correcting with lambdas (which, due to the nature of being added so late, look awkward and dumb). Maybe in another decade they'll figure out that operator overloading is a pretty nifty idea - and then implement it in a totally stupid manor as well.

Attributes in Python also resolve to functions that return a function that replaces the function that has the attribute, which is pretty awesome if a bit confusing.
This is, iirc, the ability to define custom getters and setters for data in new-style classes, right?
Sorry, I meant decorators
Code:
@Cached
def calc(a, b):
return a + bThe "@Cached" part is a decorator. You can learn about them here: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0318/

You don't like houses? 
I too am quite bothered by the lack of operator overloading in Java, the lack of lambda functions until recently, and the insistence that everything with a callback be an interface. I spent many an evening preparing for my Java class wondering how Java missed so many important design decisions to be non-awkward.
Don't forget about the lack of unsigned types, generics via type erasure, checked exceptions, inability to switch on strings and int/Integer lunacy. C# is Java done right.

THIS is the one that ticks me off.

The real problem in this case is that primitive types are second class citizens.
