| Jan 24, 2015 at 18:39 | comment | added | NoBugs | PHP - PHP is likely the only system that will let you mistype capitals in constants, turn unnamed constants into text, and only give a notice-warning if you use a variable that was never declared. "PHP is built to keep chugging along at all costs", but many people don't like this though (eev.ee/blog/2012/04/09/php-a-fractal-of-bad-design) | |

I was thinking of "forgiving".. It's the first word I thought of for your system.
