I get hating on PHP is a meme, and the language certainly has faults, but I feel like it’s no more arbitrary than how JavaScript behaves. And just like JavaScript, if you follow modern standards and use a modern version, it’s a much better experience. The language is only as good as the programmer.
That's why JS gets hates on just as much as PHP, if not more so these days as JS is fuckin everywhere!
JS is just popular because Google invests so much money into it to use it to make the web worse off.
