No.

Yes. PHP's libraries are one of the ugliest and non lispy in existence :(
- jacquesm 16y agoSince they were not made with 'lisp' or anything 'lispy' in mind that should come as no surprise. PHP is about as declarative as you get, assignments are the norm, not the exception and side-effects are how just about everything is done. It's not exactly elegant, but it fills a niche and apparently fills it quite well. Though python is catching up, and even if it isn't quite as easy to deploy a large scale python web application as it is to deploy PHP the difference is getting smaller all the time.
