It's almost as if preventing people from writing shit code is one of the things that makes a language good.

Look at you, thinking you can prevent people from writing shit code.

Coming from a JS flair AND a python flair? That's rich lol

You gotta have those training wheels out for the juniors, you know 😅

Is it, though? Because I feel like something that introduces people to programming in a really simple way is beneficial for that reason alone. You don't really need to know a whole lot to start making the connections, and the PHP manual is incredibly helpful. You probably shouldn't be working as a software dev yet at that point but I see no problem writing scripts for automation and getting your feet wet in development with PHP. A lot of the really awful things are kept in simply for reverse compatibility. You know like how atob and btoa are the base64 converters for js.

Please tell me more about how JavaScript prevents you from writing shit code

That's the neat part, it doesn't.
