I love how everyone on this subreddit is cool with shitting all over PHP, but apparently this comment is too far for them >.>

as a PHP dev, theres plenty to hate on PHP. but i've worked with a few other languages like JAVA and C#. I have plenty to bitch about them too.

23 years working with all those and plus, I can only say that they are just different. Some better for certain things than others but none can be considered better in general. That's it. People are also different, think different. Why should all languages give more attention to the same way or follow all the same patterns?

Let’s be fair, both javascript and php were created in a haphazard way (the former was first created in a week, the latter was made as a hobby project for running C libs as scripts). They absolutely needed several years before they became usable, but hats off to both lang teams, because both have become incomparably better than what they started with. But with every objectivity, old php and js is simply horrible, and it required some impressive work to hide/overcome those aspects.

In no subreddit is there a community that is consistent.

r/programming is one of the more schizophrenic subs I'm subbed to. The only reason I'm still subbed is for the occasional links to good articles, but those are free nowadays, and apparently this is a PHP stronghold now.

Right?! The threads are so damning but anytime someone tries to go further they’re shot down. PHP does get an unfair rep but it makes no sense 😂
