I like PHP. It's made me a shitload of money over the years, so I'm genuinely looking forward to all the derogatory comments about how "PHP is teh shitty language!!1!"
I'll read them sitting in a fully paid-off, 4-bedroom home that was bought and paid for by PHP.
Is PHP the greatest language in the universe, or even on this block? Nope. Does PHP have lots of sharp edges? Yep. Do many of the functions appear to
Perhaps you forgot to check that argumentum ad populatum is still a logical fallacy in 2021.
My company makes up some of those 80% powered by PHP, I make my salary supporting PHP web sites and coding PHP code myself, I even like some of the overall language, and PHP happens to be the first language in which I coded any non-toy programs.
Yet it is still pretty much THE shitty language. A primer on how you DO NOT create a programming language, from security hell to just absurd language features that trip you on
I think you're misinterpreting his post. He makes it quite explicit that he thinks PHP is hot garbage in his last points:
Is PHP the greatest language in the universe, or even on this block? Nope.
Does PHP have lots of sharp edges? Yep.
Do many of the functions appear to be named by crack addicts with head injuries? Yep.
Do I give a shit? Nope.
He's not saying it's a good language, he's saying he has no reason to hate it, because it gives him a roof over his head.

PHP haters, take note:
"PHP powers 80% of all websites."
Okay code snobs, let the hate flow through you!

Finally, someone who gets it.
Do I love PHP? Yes.
Is it because it's such an outstanding language? Nope.
Is it because I've made a borkload of dough with it? Yes.
That's why I love it, not because it's a great language.
Poor "impaledsunset" above got so triggered he practically wrote a book to refute me, when there's nothing to refute, lol.
No argument whatsoever- PHP is a hot mess. And I love it.
