I agree; PHP's problem is more cultural than technical. But that doesn't mean there aren't boatloads of technical problems that can only be dealt with with unnecessary memorization (see PHP's `==`). Yes, people will tell you that "this is by design", people will tell you that you're only supposed to use `===`... I hope you see the pattern here: if the language gets in your way for no good reason then it's wrong.
