Why do you assume people learned programming?
I think Rasmus has made the case for PHP to be a language that
solves problems, not be academically correct, many times on this
list.
Sure, some people just learn programming by themselves.
Indeed.
Are you trying to say "it justifies to have useless settings for
almost all scripts?" I hope not.
No, it justifies less academically correct __overridable defaults__, which are
intuitive for beginners.
Let me emphasize overridable defaults again, just to make sure you get
that I mean overridable defaults.
They should learn such simple thing even to be Sunday programmer.
Beside, the knowledge is useful for other popular languages, C/C++,
Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, etc.
Don't assume people ambition a career in programming, just because they use
a tool, to solve a specific problem they're facing.
