Someone in my programming development class at college asked "is php or c++ lower level" and after having worked with a large php codebase for over a month at work I wanted to laugh in pain

@illusion466 definitely. Php is dynamically typed vs c++'s static typing, php doesn't compile (in most cases I believe), php will not crash for most reasons, even if it's important - think JavaScript but with the funniest useless functions and outdated standards
