And what % of PHP devs alive today will ever be able to develop in modern PHP without dealing with abhorrent hacks and 4.3 code because the entire ecosystem is a giant cesspit of attempts to work on shit old shared hosting that have never been upgraded. To clarify, I know that PHP 5.4 is getting to the point of a modern language (despite lacking the deliciousness and usefulness of modern interpreted languages like Ruby and Python), and despite that it's still a complete mess of inconsistent standard library and weird not-quite-deprecated extensions, but the attitude it has fostered, that DON'T GIVE A SHIT JUST MAKE SOME STUFF DUUURRRRR has meant that PHP is essentially the bane of everyone's existence.
