Have you ever worked with php? I have only slightly and it was truly horrible. The library is a complete rubbish. You couldn&#x27;t create worse one if you tried.<p>The language development is bad. Some developers are bad. Many users are bad. Does these points make the language bad? Yes. New features are incoherent and seemingly random, issues pop in and out (and back in) because tests simply fail, there are unexplainable security issues, documentation is bad, and if you look for any help (documentation comments, stackoverflow) you meet the users and their shitty tips.<p>Response to every criticism is &quot;you just need to learn <i>something</i>&quot;. Does that make a good language? No. It&#x27;s precisely what makes it bad.<p>PS: There&#x27;s a nice subreddit for fun and laughs &#x2F;r&#x2F;lolphp - there are continuously new things as the language evolves, so the shittiness is not going away
