Everyone wants a magic bullet. If you're suffering under a mass of
unstructured php code, the structure and discipline of Java probably
sounds like just the thing you need. If you're stuck with a Java
behemoth with labyrinthine class structures and elaborate patterns
that no one can follow anymore, the git-er-done attitude of PHP
probably sounds pretty appealing. They're polar opposites, and both
extremely popular, so it's not surprising to me that a bunch of people
want to switch from one to the other. In most cases it's probably a
mistake, though.
