Re: Programmers: Is this true?

The problem with PHP is that the barriers to entry are very low, so it attracts bad developers. It's possible to write very nice PHP applications. It's very easy to write bloody awful PHP applications. It's possible to write bad code in any language, but a language with higher barriers to entry doesn't tend to attract the same bottom of the barrel developers. They're looking for something easy to get into. Yes, the language and library are quirky in places, and some things work differently to similar features in other languages. But on the whole, the biggest problem with PHP is the number of shit developers working with it. The language and library aren't as bad as people like to say.
