I feel it's the opposite. Always a lot of people defending PHP in these threads, no criticism allowed. Gives a very misleading picture of the industry - in reality, PHP is not a loved language, it's below Powershell and just over C in the latest ranking[0] with 40% love / 60% dread.

- dncornholio 5y agoThis only adds fuel to my argument. Yeah let's post a results on how people FEEL about a language. How is that objective? I could argue 100% of the 40% of the people actually uses PHP and 100% of the 60% people don't even use it.
- awestroke 5y agoI've worked in PHP for years. It still makes me nauseous. I would never recommend anybody to learn PHP, it's simply a shitty language all around.
- amarshall 5y agoYou can argue that, but it's not what the question was about. The survey question is: > Which programming, scripting, and markup languages have you done extensive development work in over the past year, and which do you want to work in over the next year? (If you both worked with the language and want to continue to do so, please check both boxes in that row.) Of course nothing requires survey participants to be honest or to actually totally read and comprehend the question.
