Did I say anything about PHP?! I mentioned Symfony but that's contrary too the point (and a fine example of over-engineering, btw...).
And Ocaml seems cool, though Haskell people see it like "eager Haskell with too many features and complexity and syntax on top". I took a look at the Ocsigen Ocaml web framework long ago though, and I was like "jeeez, wtff"... the language may seem cool, but that thing... ugh... But I can't really have an opinion on that since the only truly functional languages I've really played with were dynamic (Clojure and Erlang), static + functional is not really my area of experience.
- xfer 9y agoHaskell people see Ocaml as a language with too many features and complexity? really? Haskell, a language with a billion extensions? Have you ever tried compiling ghc? I don't know about ocsigen(i don't do web development), but i guess all web frameworks are more complex than they need to be. I haven't even mentioned all the formal verification stuff(coq, a verified C compiler, frama-c etc.) that come from inria. I mentioned PHP because the GP was saying languages like PHP that comes from denmark etc., but nothing from France.
- tome 9y agoA lot of Haskell extensions actually increase simplicity (by removing fairly arbirary restrictions) not complexity.
