I'm just going to come out and say it, and say it proudly ! 1) I love coding in PHP (I am a cs major) 2) I love riding scooters. There - internet be damned !

Not a CS major, but PHP has been my preferred language for web stuff the last 20 years. Even way back it was just so damn easy to work with. Sure, I'll look to Go, Ruby, Crystal, Elixir and others for more specialized stuff, but plain and simple CRUD web stuff is what PHP is made for.

That's part of my point, if what you're doing is the same, the languages will look the same. But I quite disagree with the "it made our lives better" point, and would say that the efficiency, even with all the standardized language outlook, tooling and methodology is…

We wouldn't have mass produced washing machines without... Mass production :-) The part about our life being better is non negotiable, you haven't had to hand wash clothes if you're saying otherwise. And that's just one example, refrigeration, mass mobility... Life is incomparably better and saying otherwise is just ignoring reality, in my book ;-)

You might want to look up the definition of "bigotry" then...
