But those things are differences, right? Certain languages makes certain things easy and idiomatic. The differences in languages are all about that...

So there are two options:

1. Join the languages (so PHP would get that syntatic sugar too) [or preferably never have so many in the first place]

2. Be where we are now, where we have redundant libraries, frameworks, languages, package-managers, version idiosyncrasies, and IDEs for mere syntactic sugar.

Eh? Two options for what? I was talking about how languages are different...
