Yet I think right now it's cool to shoot on PHP
This is not a recent thing, it has always been cool to mock PHP. It's not entirely unwarranted, but most programming languages have their own warts.
For example, for some reason, creators of dynamic languages think they need to mess with variable declaration, to make it more accessible, or whatever, instead of staying with tried and true lexcially-scoped block-level variables with explicit declaration. As far as I can tell, the result always ends up worse.
- dnautics 6y agoI don't know if that has to do with dynamic languages. Elixir reduced the scope of variables so that, for example, you must export it out of if statements, which irritates devs coming from most languages but which I think is a fantastic feature.
