Too true. It’s not PHP’s fault, though. The same type of argument is applied to C++.
We keep developing “nerf-world” languages, designed to protect ourselves from ourselves, and most fall down before they get a chance to even get going; mostly because they constrain, without empowering. I remember moving to Pascal, after using Assembly and Machine Code. It was very frustrating for me. Pascal was one of the earliest “safe” languages.
The problem is that we can’t build houses, using PlaySkool “Li’l Builder” toolsets.
Also, the WP Codex is really disorganized. It’s difficult to find anything in it, and that is deadly.
Geeks like to design clever architectures, but we hate to document them.
