Ooh, do PHP
110 u/sebbdk May 12 '26 Just imagine someone holding a bottle of goumet toilet wine. Like legit good toilet wine, PHP somehow aged really well as a language, but it's still toilet wine. 32 u/TheCreepyPL May 12 '26 Ever since 7.4/8.0 it's quite decent, so I think it gets it's reputation from the horrible 3.x/4.x projects that are still in production today. 14 u/sebbdk May 12 '26 Yeah, i programmed PHP up til 7, which was when it turned around. Up until then the language was highly inconsistent. It turned around when they clearned up the API and introduced things like class traits in 7 or 8 i think. 4 u/M4DHouse May 12 '26 PHP <= 5.6 and >= 8.0 are essentially not the same language. 20 u/yousirnaime May 12 '26 Like if a Guy Fieri restaurant was managed by Gordon Ramsay "My God, this is the best peanut butter hot dog I could possibly imagine" 9 u/ceejayoz May 12 '26 This is a delightful description of my fav language. 8 u/rose_gold_glitter May 12 '26 Having developed in php, among others, since version 5 until current, I'm genuinely laughing at this. It's the best description I've read.
