I highly doubt you have anything else to add because I'm sure you're just another person jumping on the "hate php" bandwagon - but go on, entertain me.
Most languages dont have extract($_POST) and hop,everything's overwritten... PHP has a lot of shit like this.Yeah you dont have to use them,but they shouldnt be here at first place,if PHP core devs cared about a sane API. PHP doesnt have a sane API. PHP core devs dont give a damn. That's why facebook developped Hack and HHVM.
Please elaborate.
