I attended a talk by Rasmus Lerdorf at a FOSS conference in 2006. It has been a long time, so I remember only a few things from the talk, but one thing I remember him talking about is how people love to complain about PHP, often on forums that are themselves written in PHP.

Did someone reply to him with this meme? https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/we-should-improve-society-som...
