Also, I much prefer statically-typed languages, even though they can occasionally be a pain in the ass. It really bugs me that php will happily accept something like

if (count(things > 1))

when you meant to type

if (count(things) > 1)

In my head, there’s no reason you’d ever want to use the first one!
