That just means that there are bad programmers outside, not necessarily bad languages. Nevertheless, I don't know a single perfect programming language anyway, so you can write tons of article titled "what's wrong with xxx". But, apart driving a lot of readers to your blog, these posts do not help at all.
I think I've been miss understood. My point wasn't that PHP is a bad language, I'm a hardened PHP dev and have been fighting it's corner here on HN for months.
It really doesn't help PHP that a site as popular as phpclasses has such a large degree of inferior code.
