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:
“The greater the decrease in the social significance of an art form, the sharper the distinction between criticism and enjoyment by the public. The conventional is uncritically enjoyed, and the truly new is criticized with aversion.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
“Unless criticism refuses to take itself quite so seriously or at least to permit its readers not to, it will inevitably continue to reflect the finicky canons of the genteel tradition and the depressing pieties of the Culture Religion of Modernism.”
—Leslie Fiedler (b. 1917)
“Homoeopathy is insignificant as an art of healing, but of great value as criticism on the hygeia or medical practice of the time.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
