my mind has been destroyed by the fact that php global scope truly means global

not per-file

global

@tom well yeah, at least I'm getting paid to write it

@noiob @tom hee, i guessed that was probably the case!

though, i also wasn't going to throw shade in case it was an actual interest--i actually know someone who is working extremely hard to make php more secure, and i actually respect their work a lot

i also have very little context about how far the language has come since i last wrote in it, so my views on it are probably not really representative of reality in php land

@thingywott @tom I think if you know how to work around the not-so-great parts it can be a really good language. It seems like it can be pretty nice, especially with the right framework
