Criticism
Some common criticisms of the PHP language include weak support for Object-oriented programming, thread safety, unit testing, exception handling, step-through debugging, domain modeling, inconsistent naming and poor performance when compared to rival frameworks and languages. In the past there have been numerous security issues found within the framework. Despite numerous criticisms from computer scientists and programmers, PHP remains the most popular server-side scripting language in the world. Also, there are efforts undergoing to try to improve PHP, and it has recently gained features at a rapid pace, such as JSON-inspired short array syntax, traits, function array dereferencing, and features such as generators are to be implemented in future versions, as well as the removal of some bad features such as "magic quotes".

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“Cubism had been an analysis of the object and an attempt to put it before us in its totality; both as analysis and as synthesis, it was a criticism of appearance. Surrealism transmuted the object, and suddenly a canvas became an apparition: a new figuration, a real transfiguration.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
“The aim of all commentary on art now should be to make works of art—and, by analogy, our own experience—more, rather than less, real to us. The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to show what it means.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“A tailor can adapt to any medium, be it poetry, be it criticism. As a poet, he can mend, and with the scissors of criticism he can divide.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
