So not only did they decide to randomly include Hebrew in their language, because I guess they were feeling kabbalistic, but they got the Hebrew wrong. In what way does any of that increase usability or even make them look competent?
It reminds me of the INTERCAL manual, which was a joke:
This precedence (or lack thereof) may be overruled by grouping expressions between pairs of sparks (’) or
rabbit-ears (").
Yeah, that’s not actually a good reason though, unless you’re developing a Hebrew programming language for Hebrew speakers. I made a bit of a joke about it, yes.
PHP naming “::” a Paamayim Nekudotayim is also pretty infamous.
When I’m designing shit, I’m pretty zealous about borrowing terminology from anything even vaguely related to avoid this.
PHP weirdness and inconsintencies never fail to amaze me.
On the bright side, I found my first StackOverflow answer that would fit exactly the same on Linguistic Stack Exchange.
