it certainly hasn’t improved much since then.

I've heard the opposite talked about quite a bit.

    Of course it's Primeagen. I haven't watched this particular video, but I've seen enough of his videos to know he's an idiot. I wouldn't trust anything he says about programming, at least half of everything he says is wrong.

    Most of the things wrong with PHP can't be fixed, at least not without completely breaking all the existing PHP apps in such a fundamental way it would be tough to argue it's still the same language.

    Lol, they did break a lot of backwards compatibility going from 5.6 to 7. That's why years later you still had people holding out on the migration because it was such a huge change.
