I do learn other languages. Right now I'm focusing on the non-alphanumeric soup we call Erlang. I can also (just) barely do some Python, and Node.js is next on the list.
For PHP, it's best to think of it as an inconsistent wrapper around lots of other libraries. In most instances, I know there is a function to do what I want, and a quick lookup gets me the right syntax.
- jacquesm 17y agoCool! Learning clojure on this end, slow progress but one day I'll get it :) How is Erlang working out for you?
- pierrefar 17y agoI should have been more explicit in how it's going for me: slowly. Very very slowly. I think it's a function of the amount of time I am dedicating to it and the book is written in a very intense dump-everything-in-one-go kind of way. But I'm slowly getting there.
