Original: Since # PHP is taking it on the chin today, an excerpt from a vintage Reddit. "If # programming languages were weapons."
PHP is being widely mocked by developers today, with a recycled joke comparing programming languages to weapons making the rounds again. The gag ranks languages by their flaws and quirks, and PHP is typically portrayed as the punchline. The jab reflects PHP's long-standing reputation problem among programmers, even as the language remains widely used across the web.
Why now: A fresh wave of criticism or mockery of PHP prompted developers to share familiar jokes at the language's expense.
