Former PHP developer gone Node.js. I agree. PHP has come a long way and doing very well. PHP powers the 2nd biggest website on the internet. Not too shabby.

I've worked in PHP since 2000 or so.

It's amazing what it's turned into. That said it's still very painful and the ecosystem has a very long way to go in terms of build tools, etc etc.

I bet there's a lot of money to be made in being able to turn old legacy php codebases into nice well factored systems in the next few years.

Maybe next time put it in terms of a fine wine or automobile.

Why? "Fine lady" implies that he and she work together, which probably fits the "ecosystem" of programming languages and programmers better. Unlike a mainly static inanimate asset like a car.

Neither of those would fit the premise. But thank you PC person, I will tune my language in the future to meet societal obligations.

You edited it to say that. Before it said something about a "hot blonde that was too expensive to touch". And I'm not PC at all and I didn't downvote you, but it's still good advice.

fine partner?
