Character Sketches
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.
Kotlin
The diplomat who made peace between Java and good taste. Kotlin looked at decades of JVM pain and said 'what if we just... didn't do that?' and everyone agreed.
