Yes, quote a blog post from NEARLY FOUR YEARS AGO that mostly consists of "I don't like the way this thing is so therefore it's wrong" + "This is a problem that was fixed in a later iteration of PHP" to justify why PHP 7 is bad.

One thing I like about PHP 7 is that they had an opportunity to say "Fuck BC" and chose to use this version change to obsolete the shitty tutorials that make bad programmers (mysql_*).

Sorry to be dense... what is "BC"?

The first thing I did when I arrived on this page was do a page search for 'fractal'. There's always one.

Yep, I generally take it as a "I don't know what I'm talking about so I'll just post this blog post".

Every reddit post about PHP outside /r/php ends up with it as well.
