It's a thread about PHP on Hacker News. Even if there were no comments at all it would still reek of negativity.

Honestly I'm amazed that even here on hackernews PHP gets so much hating over meaningless things.

I mean, hating PHP for copying Java OO model in 2004? Com'on... It's not like PHP ever wanted to be a fancy language.

EDIT: Apparently PHP5 was released in 2004, not 2003.

EDIT2: One thing PHP got right over Java: type-hinted parameters are not nullable by default. NullPointerException anyone?
