Saying "<PHP's syntax> is atrocious" has always been spurious (or simply mischaracterized as "I like X better"). Compared to what? C or Erlang or Haskell? It's really damaging to credibility to start with flamebaiting.
- combatentropy 10y agoHe likes PHP, but its syntax is not the best. It's not a matter of taste, because its syntax is inconsistent. See http://www.phpsadness.com/ http://www.phpsadness.com/, specifically Inconsistency and Cruft. Hey, I like PHP too. And inelegant syntax is not the end of the world.
