• Don’t lump them in with us! I’m a proud member of the Satanic Temple, and I wouldn’t touch PHP on my most hedonistic night.

        Haha. I’m sure they’re joking.

        But probably because you chose two languages with relatively scary syntax.

        I don’t know how to create automation to summon extraplanar nightmare creatures, but if I had to start, my first attempt would be PHP, and I know in my heart that getting it working would require C++.

          @DallE@lemmings.world An extraplanar nightmare creature being summoned by writing a code that is mixture of php and C++.

            The AI model has revised your prompt: A terrifying creature from another dimension is being summoned. This is happening through a unique and unusual method, which combines elements of computer coding. The person initiating the summoning is dynamically typing a hybrid language that merges the syntax and functions of two popular programming languages, PHP and C++. The scene is imbued with a supernatural feel as ethereal lights emanate from the lines of code, giving a clue that this is not ordinary programming but something arcane and otherworldly.

              5 stars, would summon with an unholy mix of C++ and PHP again.

            Have you used modern PHP with its ecosystem and frameworks? It’s actually really solid, and really good at what it aims to do.

        I think it’s the PHP, makes people doubt your soul’s status that you’d subject yourself willingly to it

          Well, that’s quite easy - if you judge a language by what it looked like 10 years ago, your opinion doesn’t matter

            Because no way could I dislike modern PHP. Maybe you just have low standards when it comes to programming languages?

              Well, do you? Or is this just a hypothetical?

              Half of that are lies and you can clearly see how up to date it is, because in one example it mentions php 5.1. That is close to 20 years old, it was released in 2005. I’m not gonna spend my time trying to disprove something that refers to a 20 years old version as its point of reference.

              Don’t get me wrong, there are valid drawbacks of PHP (as with any language), this document just isn’t a good representation of that.
