    Is that because you’re more familiar with python than PHP? What framework do you use?

      I built sites in PHP before I knew any Python.

      All of my personal web stuff is now based on Flask. I basically just replaced the P in LAMP with Python.

          Y’all keep asking that. Yes, this was a while ago. Did they completely start over from scratch with 8? Otherwise, the clusterfuck is only growing.

            I think it would be easier for you to give me an idea of the clusterfuck you have experienced and I can let you know if that cluster is still fucking.

            What I do know, is that it is significantly better. Nullable types, multi-catch, typed properties, arrow functions, etc.

              I’m not going to dig up decades-old code for you to pick over - but I do recall that the labyrinthian and ever-increasingly complex and buggy behavior of the multitudinous builtins was an undending pain in the ass.
