I've searched Algolia; the comments in the original 2012 thread are mostly "yeah, it's roughly accurate and PHP sucks", the ones from 2014 and onwards are mostly "it's all lies, PHP has come long way and fixed lots of things" but with no specific examples except for that "mysql_real_escape_string()". Surely there were other improvements that could merit a mention?
