There is nothing wrong with PHP

Fact: Only a complete and utter retard would use anything but PHP to program for the Web. Perl and Python are for elitist, overeducated cunts who are desperately trying to justify the time they waste learning how to write slow, unreadable noise.

Actually, when used properly, a variable prefix can be a boon to a language, in that you don't have to break 10 million lines of old code out there every time you add a keyword. That's what e.g. the LLVM assembly language uses it for.

You have to use them for functions too, but in a non-low level language, functions are just variables anyway, right? Right!

So even though it does hurts readability, it's not entirely without it's place. It would even make some sense in a primitive templating language like PHP, in that most uses of variables would be inside strings, except lol injection. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that PHP is shit, and that you, >>1, should just stick with Myspace.
