I only snark at the prospect of beginning new projects in languages such as PHP. Knowing well the deficiencies of certain languages or libraries, it is unfortunate that people wilfully refuse to learn from the past.

I have no problem working with, integrating, or porting a legacy codebase, but I think it is important to be mindful of the lessons (both positive and negative) we can glean from projects and developers that have come before us.
