In a generally well-appreciated move, packagers of the most widely used GNU operating system decided to remove support for PHP, arguing that it is ``a rotten language whose use should not be encouraged.''
Embedding PHP? Yah, good riddance!
Now if they would only automatically rm -rf / whenever some drooling underage idiot tried to program a GUI in that thing!
I mean, WTF, it's not even drag and drop like VB was. Its garbage collection is broken and its ``lambda'' support is almost Lovecraftian. It is very nearly the worst possible language to use for the task!

No, PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor is Terrible! and should be avoided like the plague. I asked you nicely to go back to /g/, please for posting a /g/ QUALITY post.

You just don't understand Haskell, you anti-Haskell Nazi!

Let's get rid of C++, stick with C as a base, and then reconstruct the whole language so that our new "C++" escapes all the shortcomings of its original namesake.

Let's call it Objective-C because the world needs more Smalltalk.

let us remove the blinded evil that is Objective-C as it does not bear the signifigance or usefulness to exist as anything other than what it really is, not as the 'easiest' way to code for apple cocoa interface, not as a C based language, but something that does not deserve to exist upon this earth in any way shape or form

The biggest mistake that Sepples makes is tying itself to backward compatibility with the entire history of See *AND* Sepples. If it divorced See and made better design decisions, it could actually be a decent language.
Similarly, they could simply revise the entire language in the next standard and force a compatibility compilation mode for previous code that would need to be updated to use the new standard. This approach allows code to continue working as it used to while making important design decisions. In this way, new code gets written in the new standard.
These two things combined would easily turn Sepples from a clusterfuck into a serious contender for a good language.

Remove Ruby. It's always at the bottom of every performance shootout.

Ruby is also created by a Mormon. That's enough reason for me to want nothing to do with it.

That a Jap made a programming language that Americans found worth using is supposed to be the bizarre part. Being a mormon should just be some sort of amusing footnote.

I don't think anyone ever doubted that Sepples could be good if it weren't Sepples.

Sticking with C as a base is no good. The cult of C has to die, for the good of programming. Oh, until some other portable assembler comes along C will be an important language, but operating systems should not be constructed with the assumption that C is the default language for desktop software.
