Comment on PHP is the English of programming languages

• remon@ani.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  I have been learning English for decades and I still suck at it.

  Not everyone has a knack for learning languages and it may vary depending on your native or other second languages. But 1.5 billion people (the minority of them native speaker) manage it.

  It is as the OP says “a terrible disorganised mess, it’s inconsistent, it makes very little objective sense”

  It does. But it doesn’t really apply to English or PHP.

    Did you find English easy to learn? What is your native language?

      Yes. German.

        English and German are both Germanic languages, they have a lot of similarities making it easier for you to learn.

        My native language is very different, I guess that makes it much harder for me to learn English. And the terrible disorganised mess doesn’t help.
