Mine are it's and its (Remember: it's its!), people who say "people
that" (It should be "People WHO!") and the complete lack of regard to plural
versus singular verbs ("There's lots?" "No, there ARE lots of examples of that
out there!").
As far as the original list:
http://wiki.theory.org/YourLanguageSucks#PHP_sucks_because:
it's just a tongue-in-cheek way to point out inconsistencies in the various
languages. However, is kind of out-dated, referring to PHP 4 and CSS 2, so am
wondering how many of the entries have been rectified? (For instance, CSS 3
does have multiple background images.) As well, I suspect that some of them may
actually make sense if analyzed as to why they are that way, instead of how the
author has grouped them.

RE: [PHP] Your language sucks because...
I'm actually interested in finding out if there are any languages that don't suck in any way... I know and have programmed in about 29, i have yet to find a language that makes 100% sense and i have no complaints about. However i still choose PHP over many, many other languages and i implement php apis because its such an easy to learn, versatile, and as advanced as you want to make it language; i mean i've written vfat in php for fun, as well as self-documenting or self-correcting libraries with reflection, advanced sorting algorithms (like a pimped radix sort that did positive, and negative integers and floats), and yet teach people how to write stuff in php in minutes, people never exposed to programming... In short, PHP does suck, but so do all languages, so when compared, php actually doesn't suck anywhere near as much as some other oftenly used languages. Anyways, just my $.02 With Regards... --Alex On Jul 13, 2011 9:15 PM, "Florian Müller" wrote:

Well . do you have any hobbies or such? I think if you like it to complain about languages sucking and so on, please do NOT spam this mailing list with this really USELESS content. There are some people out there who are using these languages for some good reasons, and I guess they give a f*ck on somebody telling that all languages suxx.

Re: [PHP] Your language sucks because...
Under the CSS section:
No way to modularize or programmatically generate lengths. Can't say:
{ width:50% - 2px; }
That's so true!! I wish I could do the above...
Oh, and why is the PHP section so damned long?!?
Good read, thanks. :)
