I just quit a job where I was mostly doing BASIC, but I got to do a bit of PHP here and there. PHP is more like driving a modern automatic. No, it's not as fun as a six-speed, but it is fairly relaxing. BASIC, now that's like a rundown 1970s Ford. |

Don't get me wrong, it's still very useful, but it ends up not being as clean as python or ruby when made for most cases.
But in the end case, it does end up being a product of who is using the language.
It was designed to be a quick and dirty home page language, and still has lots of warts from that.
