A rather annoying one at that.The "PHP, a fractal of bad design" blog post is completely, hopelessly outdated and yet people still quote it. PHP 8.0 got released in 2020 and people still cling to a post from 2012. It's mighty annoying. It's like lambasting JavaScript for all the things ES6 fixed eight years ago.
- grose 4y agoI think you're reading too much into it. This project is more of a love letter to PHP than an attack on it. Some of the criticisms from the "fractal of bad design" post apply equally to Prolog, like the stuff about inconsistent naming and argument positions.
