Sounds like every programming language on the planet. Just skip the "i'm unfamiliar with it, so i hate it" phase, and everything will be fine. People spend more time repeating that simple POV, using thousands of varying words, than is healthy. Just shut up, and do the work. And if you're not going to put in the work, just shut up, and let everyone else get to work.
I mean I don't know that I agree with that completely. Languages can still be actively awful even if you do learn them.
I have written a lot of PHP. In order to learn it I bought several books, I've done a dozen or so projects with it at various jobs, I've written both trivial and non-trivial things, and I have come to the conclusion that PHP is an actively terrible language [1]. It's inconsistent and hard to write in any kind of maintainable way with an ugly syntax and generally-crappy performance for any kind of logic beyond CRUD.
[1] At least version 5, which is the last version I've used. I've heard 7 is better but I'll never know because I swore an oath in blood that I would not do PHP again for less than a million dollars a year.
