gollark: It's okay, but not recommended, because you will still be indirectly exposed to PHP.

gollark: PHP Hypertext Preprocessor bad because of large design flaws which, while partly resolved in newer versions, are still present in still fairly large numbers. And, subjectively, it looks really ugly.

gollark: <@151391317740486657> Did you know? PHP bad.

gollark: Yes, it's that.

gollark: The problem is that the pastebin program in 1.7.10 isn't compatible with pastebin.com any more.
