There's no need to be a douche just because the parent was. You're making yourself look like a one language pony.

PHP being popular is a fact, that doesn't mean that I use or advise using php only.

And the fact that lots of people that don't understand that syntactic sugar is not the only thing that matter in a language always bash popular languages that are not "cool" is a very common symptom that describes my previous comment very well.

And there is a third fact, that "sensitive" people like you that don't like strong opinions like mine feel the urge to disagree in a way that adds no value to the conversation and ironically call others "douche".

You extrapolated some fantasy and strawmanned the parent, that makes you a douche.

> I guess that the reason you don't understand why php is so popular is that you never built anything.

What.

> you probably just play with the latest cool language building toy projects as a hobby.

Is that meant to be disparaging? It reeks of someone who doesn't know a whole lot beyond the PHP ecosystem. There isn't a dichotomy of PHP and then "cool" languages.

I think PHP is useful in certain scenarios but acting like a zealot (or as you like to call it having "strong opinions") over it is fucking stupid.

So I guess you also don't understand why PHP is popular.

You are now making some "fantasy" assumptions.

You missed the point from the beginning and now you are trying to take this into mud with all kind of assumptions and insults.

I'm stopping here.
