How easy PHP is
#11

I started learning programming with Java (A long time ago), so I'm obviously more inclined to say 'Geez, Java is much better', but I think that every programming language has its pros and cons.

Most things were already said here, so I won't really add anything by writing this post, but I just felt like posting my opinion on this.
While it"s true that PHP is much... easier to write, and less strict than Java, I also believe that it is way easier to write really messy and horrendous code in PHP (I would know, since I am by no means a professional in any language - Just a hobbyist. And Java simply forces you to think a little bit more before writing something down. Which, I believe, is better than jumping right into the code. Same goes with C++: Before writing something, you need to think about what you are going to do at least a little bit more than with PHP. Of course, this is a weak argument, since any good developer would probably think before coding anyway, but still. To put it in other words: I believe, that, for beginners, PHP code may seem way easier than Java, but their code will also be way worse than if they had started learning with Java. Or something along the lines. You get my point.)

About what someone said about associative arrays: Yeah, I agree, those are friggin' awesome. Really easy to use, in comparison with Java/C++ Collections. But then again, probably less powerful when considering memory managment and all.


Aaanyway. My 10 cents. Because I didn't write enough for it to be considered 50 cents.
