PHP: a fractal of bad design (2012)

This always gets posted every few months, and the PHP people always come around and say, wait, PHP7 is different now. I wonder how it differs on the predictable, consistent, concise, reliable, debuggable rating scale now.

Similarly, I wonder how the current crop of "modern" languages fare.

Well, PHP7 still got some of the issues mentioned in the article. But it's mostly due to backward compatibility reasons I believe.

But then there's also a good rule. Don't write shit code. It pretty much works in most of the languages.

Don't use the bad parts of the language. Most languages have something that's weird.
