Consider the audience it is directed at; my 11 year old daughter is waiting, not so patiently, so see it. My 20 year old niece.. not so much.

And there's the problem: the kid wants to see it, so the parents have to as well...

So it's exactly what any sane person expected when they heard the words "Emoji" and "Movie" put together.
I'm not sure that it's any more shallow than our own generational children's fare. The only people that should be annoyed are the guys that support GitHub - emojicode/emojicode, but I don't really care about them because they support emojicode.

Hey man guess what... PHP 7 now offers strict type checking. Put this at the top your files kinda like Option Explicit in VB...
declare(strict_types=1); Yeah I know, only 20 years too late right?

And with any luck, another 20 years will go by where I don't have to learn this "language."

Amen! The languages below, I hope I will never have to use them.
PHP, Ruby, Python, and Object-C.
They are not inherently bad, just some quirks that make I scratch my head. What in the world are they thinking when they make some decision to do the syntax, directives, space indentation, and many other requirements the way they are. Its like an after thought features.

If starting it today I'd not learn it, but I've been riding the PHP wave since the 90s and have adopted it much like a stepchild. It must feel loved! So, having used it for a couple decades I can tell you this much...
As to why it's a clusterfudge... it suffers the same problems as the Win32 API did. Part of the reason Microsoft just flat out dumped the API (for the most part) is because it too because a clusterfludge having to keep backwards compatibility from days when fancy designs in languages weren't as mainstream. But as soon as you touch something, things break and tons of people complain. PHP has been king of the web since pre-dotcom boom. And suffers the same exact issues, for better or worse, as it was originally designed for speed over everything else - including design.
It's not like the PHP group has the marketing budget of MS to just dump PHP and start over. And so, you get what we have. Despite it's design issues though, I still find PHP useful and of course, it's the grandfather of a lot of these web languages. So, it has to receive some love for that, if for no other reason then to serve as a stepping stone for improvement. Prior to PHP, most fancy web dev was done over CGI directly in C/C++. PHP helped proliferate server-side web development.

Ah, those good old VB days

No I meant Option Explicit. I know of Option Strict, but I meant how the Option mechanism works. And I used Option Explicit since it's by far the more popular of the options in VB land. It's called context and inference bro. Not everything is so literal. But, thanks for the correction I didn't ask for as usual.

Wow, I'm not that old!
I started with Visual Basic.NET in 2010 and switched to C# in 2013 or something.
Didn't know repl.it though, pretty neat stuff!

ain't it great how type-free languages feel all growed-up when they get types, while typed languages take a step into the future when they learn how to be type-free?
it's like people just enjoy change.

When I read the article above, its typical and make my eyes roll. Execs don't trust their internal IT, but when they go ahead and acquired a solution from 3rd party, 91% of them are useless. One thing comes to mind, most executives don't invested enough in their own organization.

I have a lengthy reply sitting on my computer at home that I have to finish. Basically, that survey is a very interesting mess.
- execs believe their IT doesn't have the skills, training, resources
- execs believe that whether developed in-house or 3rd party, the user experience sucks
- execs say IT, marketing, sales, and support have no idea how to market and support their mobile apps
Like the saying goes - when you point your finger at someone, you've got 3 fingers (thumb doesn't count) pointing back at you.
Just goes to prove what I've always known - execs are high paid but useless.
