Despite all the naysayers I have kept with PHP and she's matured into a fine lady who doesn't let me down.
- WorldWideWayne 11y agoMaybe next time put it in terms of a fine wine or automobile.
- scott_karana 11y agoWhy? "Fine lady" implies that he and she work together, which probably fits the "ecosystem" of programming languages and programmers better. Unlike a mainly static inanimate asset like a car.

- x5n1 11y agoNeither of those would fit the premise. But thank you PC person, I will tune my language in the future to meet societal obligations.
- WorldWideWayne 11y agoYou edited it to say that. Before it said something about a "hot blonde that was too expensive to touch". And I'm not PC at all and I didn't downvote you, but it's still good advice.

- jskulski 11y agoI've worked in PHP since 2000 or so. It's amazing what it's turned into. That said it's still very painful and the ecosystem has a very long way to go in terms of build tools, etc etc. I bet there's a lot of money to be made in being able to turn old legacy php codebases into nice well factored systems in the next few years.
