I've tried to learn PHP some years ago when I was a teenager. I could never understand the language design. It just didn't resonate with me. Working through examples, it never felt right (and that's despite having worked through a C++ intro book at the same age).
Attribute this to my increased maturity if you want, but I've started web development again just over a month ago. Full-stack JS feels great to me. It's intuitive, unlike what PHP was. It feels clean, uncluttered, unlike what PHP was.

- krapp 13y agoI've been exposed to PHP, Java, Perl, C++, VB Python and C# and it's definitely the case so far that PHP seems to be the most haphazardly designed. Although personally, I've never had much of a problem with PHP's ugliness. It's not my least favorite language (that would probably be VB.)
