But that's why people like PHP, they have little exposure to something else.
People that have experience with langs like Rust, Java or C#, Kotlin, Haskell or Elm, OCaml of F#, they usually do not like PHP. Why would that be?
People who only every have used PHP (and maybe some JS) they are usually the only ones raving about the language.
If you have seen a lot of movies (critics usually have) you are better at judging the merits of movies. Same for languages.
- ars 3y agoI suspect it's actually you that doesn't have exposure to PHP. I have exposure to about half of those, and I like PHP. > are better at judging the merits of movies Their definition of "merit" is "surprises me and brings something new to the table", while a regular person wants "is entertaining". i.e. they are better at judging the merit of something not actually wanted.
