I think the only good thing about PHP being my first programming language is that to this day, when learning a new language, I am pleasantly surprised by how logical and feature-rich and generally not-PHP-like they are.

When your standards are set that low, it’s hard to take things like halfway decent language design for granted.

Okay, that might not be a good thing after all.

I’m more amused by the fact that a call to this can fail.

more seriously, I guess it’s an invalid-argument sort of failure?
