Skill issue
come to issues of familiarity, not of complexity … They conflate the two issues
Okay, but have you seen Objective-C++?
You get two distinct syntaxes in one language that you can’t use interchangeably.
Fair, but the problem is that Objective-C itself has the same problem because of the design decision to make it a superset of C
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I briefly touched PHP in undergrad and never worked with it again. Why do people hate it so much?
Because they unironically think it stands for “PHP Hates Programmers”
It used to have some really strangely behaving functions and syntax. Stuff like inconsistency between throwing and returning error codes, weirdly named standard functions, adding strings with numbers, really really strange but very well known bugs you had to constantly work around and a lots of ambiguous syntax causing strange bugs rather than just crashing to help you out. It also had this horrible feature where if you write
$variablewhere the$variablecontains a string, it'd access the contents of the variable with that string as name, which allows for huge security risks but also lots of "quirky" coding.It was also one of the most supported languages for web back-ends, so lots of people had the displeasure of working with it.
But AFAIK the newer versions have made it somewhat of a normal language. r/lolphp used to document a lot of those oddities, so you could sort it by top all time if you want to see some weird shit.
