The Software-Engineering Code of Ethics (from the ACM/IEEE-CS) says (in part)

"Software engineers shall ensure that their products and related modifications
meet the highest professional standards possible."

Using error-prone, poorly designed languages would seem to violate this. Anyone
who would do work in such a language must, therefore, either not be a S/W
engineer, be an unethical S/W engineer, or think that producing substandard S/W
is ethical practice.
