semantics? php wasnt written to be a programming language. it was words written with an explicit purpose.

  No, read the history of PHP. It started out as just a hack for a school assignment. It accumulated hacks to do different things over time. It didn't ever have an explicit design effort until way long after it had been adopted around the world and they decided they might try to make up for some of it's cruft.

    ok so it is semantics. replace design with written.

      It's only semantics if you believe "intelligent design" is a thing, or that evolution "wants" anything.
