Feb 18, 2018 at 10:57 comment added VisualMelon I had a search as well. The spelling error might suggest it was informal conversation, in which case your absolutely right to be looking for a 'that could have been worded better' interpretation. (And the quote doesn't sound like PHP was the main topic, so probably just a throwaway remark)
Feb 18, 2018 at 10:55 comment added candied_orange @VisualMelon Tried Google. Didn't help me dig up the context. So I pinned down the possible misunderstandings as well as I could. Even pros get fast and loose with these terms since few people deal directly with this crap anymore. I hate looking at code with macros in it so I probably should have just kept my mouth shut. :)
Feb 18, 2018 at 10:51 comment added VisualMelon I don't know... I'm all for trying to work out what people actually meant, but I can't shake the feeling it is just nonsense; however, I'd be interested to know the actual context. I certainly don't think it is a useful remark to make (out of perhaps a very specific context), especially given most languages (including PHP) have 2 or 3 runtimes knocking around these days in various states of 'completeness'.
