Can you give some advice for some relative newbie who has found themselves in a job filled with loads of php programming and somehow being the sole php programmer?
What are quality, well designed languages and badly designed languages? and what is the use of them?

I don't know. What kind of advice would you want? My advice is to not focus on tools but on your projects. Tools are means to an end.

Java is also out of consideration imo, unless you are coding Java bytecode.
I guess Lisp is god-tier?
Jaxon Nelson
I guess career wise if you felt there were any easily identifiable mistakes or things you feel like you should have done when you were younger.

It should return null. There are a shitload of functions that act usefully on a null. false forces you to use === and nothing else. Learn your basic types for fuck's sake
PHP got publically shamed into fixing one thing some time in the past five years so I guess it's perfect now according to Parse-Error-Erry-Day Pajeet, Ph.D over here
Read the second half of the sentence you dumb cunt. Even visual fucking basic doesn't default to "on error resume next".
HOW ABOUT THE ONE PERL HAS? OR JAVASCRIPT HAS? OR FUCKING C EIGHTY-NINE IN MICROSOFT'S COMPILER HAS?
>>How do you sort backwards? In Perl, you might do sort { $b $a }. In Python, you might do .sort(reverse=True). In PHP, there’s a separate function called rsort().
You've never written a HTML table with sort buttons in ten years of using PHP?

Are you retarded? C belongs in the badly designed pile along with PHP and Javascript.

Quite right user, Rust is a pajeet-tier language. :^)
Juan King
So you are saying INDIAN programmers are tier 1.

The language placement was sufficiently weird that any implication of one number being the best was completely lost anyway.
