When someone gives you a long list of reasons why they hate something, why do you conclude they only hate it because it's trendy to hate it?

- thinkindie 6y agobecause this kind of rants are pointless, they are not bringing any value. Every language comes with their own inconsistencies or oddity. Most of those points raised are just added to a laundry list for its own sake, it's not something you come along every single day. You might have a WTF moment once in a while but that's something that happens with every language. I'm still not able to understand why everyone hate PHP and then at the same time love Javascript or Python or Ruby.

As an illustration, compare the amount and severity of WTF moments found in Ruby vs. Javascript in this presentation: https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/wat https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/wat
