It was said in different ways in this thread but mostly a language that needs a triple equality operator because they fucked up their normal equality operator to a point where it’s so unintuitive that people flat out recommend not using it at all, is what gives it a bad reputation. Likewise PHP primitives are runtime configuration dependent, you can throw different values at your runtime and get different function returns. I remember large parts of F3 was testing the environment config for databases to see what would be the correct expected returns. That’s insane. I’m saying it. Both of these things make me RUN. I don’t care about features, I can code in C99 if need be. But I can’t deal with a language in which the work befalls on me to read the documentation even for the most trivial things, because it is plainly illogical or not deterministic. That’s why people hate PHP. The rest really doesn’t matter and boils down largely to preference.
