Comment on If you had to choose one programming language that you had to use for the rest of your life, what would it be?

  Don’t lump them in with us! I’m a proud member of the Satanic Temple, and I wouldn’t touch PHP on my most hedonistic night.

  There’s the Devil, and there’s the Devil.

  Heh, no, why?

    Haha. I’m sure they’re joking.

    But probably because you chose two languages with relatively scary syntax.

    I don’t know how to create automation to summon extraplanar nightmare creatures, but if I had to start, my first attempt would be PHP, and I know in my heart that getting it working would require C++.

        The AI model has revised your prompt: A terrifying creature from another dimension is being summoned. This is happening through a unique and unusual method, which combines elements of computer coding. The person initiating the summoning is dynamically typing a hybrid language that merges the syntax and functions of two popular programming languages, PHP and C++. The scene is imbued with a supernatural feel as ethereal lights emanate from the lines of code, giving a clue that this is not ordinary programming but something arcane and otherworldly.

      Relatively scary syntax is is nicely said. :)

      Php is absolutely scary.

        Have you used modern PHP with its ecosystem and frameworks? It’s actually really solid, and really good at what it aims to do.

      Heh, fair enough!

    I think it’s the PHP, makes people doubt your soul’s status that you’d subject yourself willingly to it

    • rikudou@lemmings.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Well, that’s quite easy - if you judge a language by what it looked like 10 years ago, your opinion doesn’t matter

        Hm, my experience is from the last years and PHP remains awful. If this is all solved, pm me: wiki.theory.org/YourLanguageSucks#PHP_sucks_becau…

        Because no way could I dislike modern PHP. Maybe you just have low standards when it comes to programming languages?
