While I applaud the recent-ish improvements to PHP, the biggest issue is still unresolved: the standard library is a mess. It is inconsistent as a rule -- in terms of function naming, argument order, error behaviors, etc.
I think this issue is probably intractable unless PHP wants to go the Python route and have a hard fork.
- tedivm 3y agoI say this as someone who hasn't professionally used PHP in about a decade, but still has a few open source projects: the arguments against PHP are silly at best, especially this particular argument. With modern IDEs it's easy to work around these quirks in the language.
- ptx 3y agoOK, but are there any good arguments for PHP? Why not use something less quirky instead?
