when I see the substring "php" I not just close the tab but disinfect my eyes.
It is not easy to be a language nazi these days: same effect for ruby, so there goes 80% of the light-server software.

Friends don't let friends use JavaScript.

what are you, Erlang guy? ;)

yeah but it's about your coding, not other people's coding. I can see huge problems about almost any code in php and most code in js (and ruby is slow as hell) but I don't know any real problems with, say, rust code. (It does not mean I would write it.)

that is about coding in rust, not about the code quality written in rust.

sidenote:
fn main() {
let a = 123u8;
let b:i32 = a as i32;
println!("a={:#?} b={:#?}", a, b);
}
But it only shows that you've grown up on non-typed languages. I started on Pascal back then and I always favoured strongly typed ones so #Rust looks pretty sexy to me. YMMV.

I found the C compiler on the C=64 way too funky. 😉
I am sure it is related to brain structure, too, whether someone favours strong or lazy typing. Neither one is _better_.

I often miss the ease of Simon's Basic though when trying to teach the kids *sigh*

also a specific comment on the OP: I actually have fiddled with _plugins_ of peertube and they are horribly scary. I'd say really badly written, almost to the point of unfixable. 😩
