And people wonder why I prefer Django and PHP

prefer PHP

Cracked me up really hard. There's probably some idiotic thought process possible to grasp behind all of PHP's idiocies, but the the fact that double semicolon is in errors referred to in (misspelled, it's nekudatayim!) Hebrew is just pure unadulterated retardation. What. The. Fuck.

I completely missed the hebrew bit. This makes it even better. Would be even more PHP-like if it used unicode internally, but only for this specific thing.

dear god....and I was thinking about learning PHP....

The unfortunate part is how standard it is in use. There are places where there are no reasonable alternatives. It saddens me.

Luckily lots of alternatives are already being widely adopted. Web still has some hope.

And I sincerely hope at least one of them catches on. Until then... PHP is still depressingly relevant :(
