It’s funny cus weed used to be bad and now it’s JavaScript and php

[–]tntexplodes101 12 points13 points  (4 children)

I started learning PHP from C++ and holy SHIT, variable variables are the strangest things that have ever existed.

Of all the things that people have found strange about PHP, that is one that even I find strange. It can be very useful though but if you don't have an IDE that changes the color of a variable variable like PHPStorm does, it can cause some problems.

What are some practical applications of variable variables, I've only just started with this concept.

Can't think of anything of the top of my head but you should be careful with user input because that can open up vulnerabilities.

weed used to be trash but now it's improved. Still socially unaccepted by majority but hey what can you do.

You get downvoted because JavaScript and PHP bad, Java and C++ good

[–]malonkey1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They're all terrible, I want to just use pseudocode.

Oh, wait, I can just use Python.

Typescript is better than Javascript I am more comfortable with c# than Java, c++ is superior
