Is C undefined behavior and use after free "shame" or "stigma"?
JavaScript has bad parts and design (and big community that claims it is fine language), Perl has great design and small community (and everyone can bash it), PHP has horrible design flows and a big community that does not address issues from "Fractal of bad design" but claims language is fixed.
As experienced developer I know what good design is. This article saved a lot of novices from trapping into badly designed language as a first one.
At least some PHP proponents makes fools of themselves:
> This of course is coming, like usual, from someone who spent a significant portion of their life in academia and then moved to R&D and still has yet to make a dent in the world, or likely their student loans [1].
Words of true believer. PHP can't transition to not bad language because of such believers. Those who can see faults left. And what's left is echo chamber. There would be no break of backward compatibility. I've checked, from design perspective nothing changed.
All I see is community discarding critique without addressing it or even understanding it.
