Why does PHP shine on the command line? OS X ships with Python, Ruby and Perl, Linux ships with Python and Perl (not sure about Ruby).

- mschuster91 11y agoBecause it's fast and easy. Python is a nightmare especially when you copy and paste stuff together from the internet because spaces and tabs are a different thing, Perl is next to unreadable (but immensely powerful) and Ruby is exotic at best. Then there are bash scripts, a drama in itself and only to be used when you want cross-platform/cross-distribution compatibility.
