If PHP were actually supported by people with advanced degrees, I'd have to say: PHP is like retard's version of academic computer science: it's the language that was designed and maintained and supported and promoted by the people with PhD degrees that were awarded not because of the quality of the PhD candidates'' theses, nor the intelligence of the PhD candidates, nor their positive impact on the computer science community ; but on the impact of the candidates' on gender, racial, religious, or socioeconomic makeup of the group who hold advanced degrees in computer science.
I recognize this is a instance of well-known logical fallacy, but no true computer scientist would support or agree with the use of PHP. the basic design principles of PHP are rooted in God-knows-what... fuck, there's clearly no design in PHP; I can't even make a bad analogy about it.. it's just a language where people did things in the first way they could think of, and in which they kept on doing things in the same old broken ways, even well after the brokenness was pointed out to them.and even afetr they understood why those ways were broken.
but! I know CS PhD who agree with or even know (or even in one extreme perverted case LIKE) PHP!!!
