I'd like to suggest a protocol for maintaining civility in this type of

*Only make definitive statements about a language if you are an expert
in that language.*

If you are a Java expert who sometimes uses PHP, say things you know
about Java, but ask "How would that situation be handled in PHP?". Other
way round for PHP experts who sometimes use Java.
