But still, why would I work with it? The language is crap, I guess now there are enough abstractions to hide it but they can do only so much. You're still writing $variables and calling the array_* methods etc. at some point. I'd rather work with languages that don't have this legacy crap with them. I also avoid Perl fwiw.

Every language has legacy crap, or at least all the ones that matter.
