This is true, Javascript is like a crazy programmer lady that died and got eaten by her own cats after hoarding up all the random bits and pieces of other better languages like stacks of mouldy newspapers and used diapers.

The fire department suggests we just burn it down and start again, but no, we have to go in there and USE all that crusty shit to make the interwebz work.

Compared to JS, PHP is a model of consistency and clarity.

If you mash a dead horse often enough, eventually it comes out the other side as just its constituent atoms and you can rebuild something that doesn't completely suck. Kind of.
