I’d like to think Typescript does a lot of heavy lifting where JS fails when it comes to web development. On the otherhand there is no fixing fundamental flaws in PHP.
Sure bad programmers write bad code, but if a language tolerates something so obviously janky via implicit unseen magic, it’s just encouraging bad practices. PHP makes this worse by tweaking core behaviours in weird and wacky ways that can easily lead to security vulnerabilities.
A high level language should make coding easier. If it doesn’t why not just code in assembly, or even build an ASIC? And no, allowing you to fuck yourself by accident isn’t making your life easier even if it seems simpler at the time you write the code.
