While I don't normally write PHP code, I have had a bit of experience and so this very thorough rant made me chuckle.
PHP: a fractal of bad design I wish there were pages like this one on every programming language - I'm sure each has it's own set of dust bunnies we'd rather forget.
After getting a link to a "community index" for PHP, I thought I'd check with indeed.com to see what they say about a few languages. It looks like PHP isn't dead yet.
