  but isnt its uniqueness the whole point of the language? i dont know php so dont know what makes it special but from what ive understand its constructed more like chinese than western languages. ie a lot of symbols that do stuff rather than adding a small set of powerful blocks to cronstruct something? so it is good for fast scripting but poor for real programming? isnt that the point of the language? i could be way off in my perception of PHP here though.

There seems to be ample amounts of hatred for PHP here, leading me to believe that either a) people here have never met a GOOD php developer, or b) a minority of users here enjoy the "my favourite scripting language is more obscure than yours" circle-jerk
