Why the hatred for PHP?

I never understood this. I have never even seen it until I started using image boards, and people were claiming wakaba was superior then everything else because it was written in perl.

What is so bad about PHP? I've always viewed PHP as a simplistic language that is easy to learn. Apparently there is something extremely wrong with it though, that if you use you are considered an "amateur" programmer.

JS is even a bigger pile of shit than PHP. No wonder why: both of them started out as garage projects (neither one really evolve beyond that).

Seriously, functions are not bound to objects in JS, what is this bullshit? I know you can hack your way through with apply(), but that is not a solution.

Who was the insane FUCK who thought any high level language will do good without object bound methods? I know it's useful in some cases that a single function can reference different objects via the this keyword, but nah.
