Comment on The WHY of WAT - understanding why 'JavaScript is Crazy'parent

Comments

That's fair, but PHP has the same level of WTF, and is (I'd argue) less elegant than JS.

Sorry, I'm missing something. Is the grandparent a big advocate of PHP? Why is PHP being brought into this?

It's a language that is heavily used for server apps, which the top post was saying JS shouldn't do. My point was, quirks like these haven't outweighed the advantages of PHP, and I don't think they should for JS either.
