Yeah we call that PHP (and I say that as someone who uses PHP all day and quite likes it).

- Animats 10y agoOh, that's where it comes from. As a non-PHP user, I thought it was a strange feature.
- pbiggar 10y agoNo, it's much much older than PHP. It's in PHP because it was in Perl (which is also why it's in Ruby). I think iit was in Perl because it was in sh. But I wouldn't be surprised to hear that it's older than that. Snobol maybe?
- orf 10y agoI was actually thinking of PHP as I wrote that comment, I didn't want to call it out directly
