Then why do people complain about it in your opinion? Shouldn't leave the conversation hanging ;-)

- Mithaldu 12y agoThere's no need to continue a conversation that's been had a thousand times already.
- ChikkaChiChi 12y agoI haven't seen the obligatory fractal link yet!
- veb 12y agohttp://eev.ee/blog/2012/04/09/php-a-fractal-of-bad-design/ http://eev.ee/blog/2012/04/09/php-a-fractal-of-bad-design/ (it's actually a pretty decent article, anti-PHP or not.)
- krapp 12y agoI've started using this to measure the quality of a PHP thread. When a thread reaches 3 Fractals you may as well bail.
- Shish2k 12y agoYou wait that long? I go into them knowing from the start that the whole thread will be divided into "PHP is terrible", "PHP is terrible but it gets the job done", and "PHP is my second language (after javascript) and I think it's great" camps - no particularly useful discussion will occur from the first two camps, but we can at least draw some positive value from the thread by enlightening the third group (or laughing at them, depending on how stubborn they are).
- krapp 12y agoIt usually doesn't take very long. It's like a compulsion for some people.
- ChikkaChiChi 12y agoIt's the Godwin's Law of PHP discussions.
- nwp90 12y agosigh http://eev.ee/blog/2012/04/09/php-a-fractal-of-bad-design/ http://eev.ee/blog/2012/04/09/php-a-fractal-of-bad-design/ Worth reading once, if you keep wondering why everyone is slagging off the language you love (and that language is PHP).
- veb 12y agoNot much of a conversation when someone says "That's not why..." and then they don't expand on it.
- Shish2k 12y agoObligatory standard explanation, which has been linked a thousand times already[1]: http://eev.ee/blog/2012/04/09/php-a-fractal-of-bad-design/ http://eev.ee/blog/2012/04/09/php-a-fractal-of-bad-design/ [1] not yet in this thread, but at least once each in a thousand other HN PHP threads
