I think PHP is shit because I used it about 14 years ago (+/- 1/2 years), where it was crystal clear that the language was written by a complete amateur. I've example off the top of my head: you couldn't reference an element of an array returned by a function in the same line, you had to first assign the function's output to a variable and only then were you able to reference an element of the array in the variable. Like, WTF!!!???
It may have improved over time, I just don't care enough to find out. It doesn't deserve my attention.
