It's like Python that forgot to shave. For fifty years.

It's a similar experience. PHP is slightly more Perl-ish (dollar signs, no namespaces for built-in functions, `or die`, native string interpolation) and has type declarations.

Like python but easier to dive into for anyone that’s used C before?
