> Had you read the entire topic, you'd see plenty of false info being posted
I've honestly looked through all of the original poster's comments and couldn't find any misinformation. Except for referencing r/lolphp, which is indeed mostly wrong about everything.
> You think the reaction is to learning another language? [...] Can you tell me how many possible outcomes exist and how come you chose this one in particular?
I thought so, although I see now that I was wrong. I still don't understand what else your response, saying "Do you want recognition for learning other languages?" to a comment saying "I no longer use PHP and I have learned other languages that I actually like", was supposed to be reacting to, but I take it that there are other possible interpretations that I'm not grasping here.
> you talk as if there exists de-facto "community". [...] it's just a bunch of people who use various forums and there's no coherent community
Obviously a community as big as the PHP community is always going to be, in turn, fragmented into smaller communities. Symfony is not Laravel is not WordPress. But that doesn't mean that you can't draw generalisations from it, like how you would say "the Python community is scared of big breaking changes". This doesn't mean that every single member of that community is personally scared of big breaking changes. It's a generalisation about the behaviour of a group that doesn't extend into a judgement of each and every one of its members.
> You, on the other hand, labeled me and entire PHP community [...] which apparently you researched somehow
I thought there was no such thing as a PHP community. I described a general vibe that I perceive from a given community, which I have extensively interacted with and been a part of. Unless it doesn't exist, in which case I suppose I haven't.
I then compare it to other communities, which I have also interacted with and been a part of, if they indeed exist. My perception nonetheless may be flawed, and it does not need to apply to you specifically.
> I wrote about features I'd like to see in PHP
It's great that what I said above does not apply to you. Your personal appreciation of other programming languages' features, in turn, does not change what I perceive as the broader community's culturally enforced commitment to willful ignorance.
