PHP has one data structure to rule them all.
The array is a complex, flexible, master-of-none,
hybrid data structure, combining the behaviour of
a list and a linked map. But we use it for everything,
because PHP is pragmatic: “dealing with things
sensibly and realistically in a way that is based on
practical rather than theoretical considerations”.
An array gets the job done. Unfortunately, with
flexibility comes complexity.
