I would have to respectfully disagree. PHP is the worst designed
programming language ever and perl isn't much better. Perl excels at one
thing, regular expressions. Its syntax is ugly
and it suffers from language bloat. I dislike Ruby because it has
borrowed many of the "multiple ways to do things" bloat from Perl.
As it's Friday we can all have a laugh at the fact that PHP function
names were specifically chosen because they were hashed using strlen()

Well, if it's "Free-For-All-Friday", I vote for replacing all that crap
with Perl. And I'm sure that PHP and even that snake language have their
fans. Maybe IBM should leave script language design to the wider world.
REXX is adequate for a lot of things, but the // and % operators just make
me mad.
