Character Sketches
C++
The gothic cathedral — ornate, imposing, awe-inspiring, occasionally terrifying. Fifty years of features layered onto a C foundation. Template metaprogramming is many things, but visually clean isn't one of them.
PHP
The duct tape that holds 40% of the web together while everyone pretends it doesn't exist. PHP is the cockroach of programming: ugly, everywhere, and absolutely unkillable.
