Tim Bray has started a discussion on the advantages and disadvantages of PHP. One of the arguments surrounding the code is that it is spaghetti code. I am sorry, but I would beg to state that most of the code in the world today is Spaghetti Code. Concepts and initiatives have arisen surrounding moving from procedural code to object-oriented code for well over the last decade. It has been few to rare occasions, which I have heard of a business completely re-engineering every line of procedural code into a brand new object-oriented system. It is a poor argument to exclude a language based on the ability to create spaghetti code. Almost every language has the capacity to be mangled by a poorly skilled programmer as it has the capacity to be dazzling by a great programmer.

2 Comments to “It is the revenge of the Spaghetti Code”
Even if PHP is well written it still *looks* like spaghetti.
Linguini Code!? PHP rocks, and it's sad that people are so annoyed by it's slow but inevietable take-over of the java industry, that they would take issue with "->" or other syntax differences; as though these differences even had a real-world impact.
