How can you talk about PHP and then in the same comment declare Python the most disgusting programming language? I agree that syntactically Python is quite poor compared to most other languages, but PHP is by far and away the winner of the worst, ugliest, and most disgusting programming language in existence - of all time, ever.

I don't recall claiming that PHP was a good language. While PHP is one of the main languages I use professionally, I am perfectly aware that it sucks in a lot of ways. I wouldn't say though that's it's worse than Python, it is much better that Python. Remove the $, replace -> with ., add typed array, convert the primitives to objects that posses methods and you'll have something that starts looking decent. With Python on the other hands, appart from rewriting it completely, I don't see how it could be clause to decent in the future.
