After learning about a few of these I started to understand why people coming from C always said that PHP is a well designed language…
But OK, I understand that my mind is just not made for the complexity of C. Most likely I'm not a real programmer.
I get instantly knots in my brain and start to bang my head against the wall when I need to look for too long on C code. Actually even C documentation is enough to trigger this. (I get mad every time I have to look on a Linux system man page).
This is highly subjective of course. Other people seem to love C!
I'm more of a grug brain¹, who mostly only understands plain pure functions.
Input in, output out. No magic. Everything else's too taxing.
