You would not claim this bullshit if you had any idea who is actually maintaining and using PHP. Unfortunately, somehow it seems fashionable to make broad statements about PHP without bothering to find out a single bit of information.

You don't remember the code examples on Zend Technologies' own website? Teaching PHP with really embarrassing security holes.
Or Rasmus Lerdorf who releases software that doesn't run all unit tests?
Read the source code to MediaWiki some time. You can say a lot about MediaWiki, Wikipedia and PHP, but at least MediaWiki is PHP done right (if such a thing is possible).
Actually the comment is spot on.
It's a stinking shit crock from end to end. Just because it has a few celebrity developers like Rasmus, doesn't mean it doesn't fuck you in the eyeballs the moment you see it.
Just sit down for a couple of hours with tmux fired up, and vim with bits of ZE source code on the left and on thr right, Python.
You will see. It will make you sick looking at the ZE source code.
