I honestly don't like programming language debates, but when the flame begins, I usually attempt to show that other languages than PHP have their flaws as well, none of them is perfect. But hey, this post was really shocking! I've been coding in PHP since ages. I've seen many gotchas and WTFs along the way, but I never stopped to summarize how many times I had to workaround PHP anti-features, poorly designed APIs and bugs just to get my tasks done. Now I did, and I'm not happy with the result.]]></description>

(Did you know the contest is open for this year?) Since I read tons of books and papers about clean code nowadays, I couldn't resist refactoring it, just to see how much a heavy code cleanup can improve a source code that was intentionally written to be obscrure as possible, and of course, to abuse both IOCCC and Clean Code as hard as it can be. :-)]]></description>
