Is It True That PHP Is An Ugly Language? If So, What Are The Alternatives? by bambambambam: 12:03am On Aug 04, 2014
Been reading a lot of nasty stuff about PHP lately (ie. here on Hacker News: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3820431). Should I switch language while I'm still new, or should I stick with it despite what people say?

Thanks!

PHP borrows its syntax style from C÷÷. Is C÷÷ an Ugly language? PHP is relatively fast. Faster than even Ruby. People just go online and paste crap either because they don't understand stuffs or cos of Bias. PHP is great for the web. Its not as elegant as Ruby. But, its not Ugly. Period!!! FYI, I do PHP, Python, RoR, and ASP.NET (with C#).

Facebook uses PHP because that's the language the author first wrote it in decades ago. It is too late for them to change.

Things have changed since then.

That's the idea people who hate PHP gives. It's wrong. Facebook Inc. definitely have the ability to rewrite the app. But they chose to spend 18 months writing a PHP to C++ compiler
