You are missing the point. The end user does not need to know, and more importantly, doesnt even care what language you use. Just solve their problem.

- kingkilr 16y agoI may not care, but I end up knowing every time I see one of those PHP/MySQL error traces in a website. Apparently one of their problems isn't proper exception handling.

- mdg 16y agoSo writing my app in <your preferred language> automatically ensures my database will be up and all exceptions are handled correctly?
- kingkilr 16y agoNo, it does, however, ensure that my errors don't randomly get dumped on the page, and that instead an exception is raised and a proper 500 page can be returned.
- Volscio 16y agoI'm not a coder, and I wouldn't be building stuff today if I didn't have PHP. I think a lot of people probably feel that way. Programma hatas gon hate.
- generalk 16y agoThe end user doesn't directly care, but if you solve their problem in a hacky unmaintainable way, they'll care when it takes you days to do what should take hours, weeks to do what should take days.
- mdg 16y agoSo writing my app in <your preferred language> automatically makes it elegant?
- generalk 16y agoNo. I didn't say that. The language you write in doesn't matter nearly as much as your attitude about writing the software. If you don't design for maintainability and readability, then modifying the code later will take much longer.
