The language is PHP.
The instant reload and not losing your place is because changes to the server do not affect what's in the browser.
Customers sharing a system works because you can just have directories of PHP files.
PHP was developed without any kind of object system.
PHP is completely cross-platform because the UI is in the browser.
PHP powered Facebook.
PHP has a very poor reputation here.
PHP is in the top 10 tags on StackOverflow.
- danielvf 9y agoBingo! You got it!
- lj3 9y agoPHP 4, maybe? My experience with PHP 5+ has not been any of the things you mention.
- danielvf 9y agoMost PHP frameworks these days are a horror show of overcomplexity, precisely because they are trying to write Java in a language that is not Java. In my crotchety, old man opinion, people have been trying very hard to make PHP like a blub, overly verbose language, and trying to hide the things that made it great.
- _diyu 9y agoWhat kind of things make it great? I only see downsides or at the very least poorly implemented upsides that most other languages only have.
- quickthrower2 9y ago> The instant reload and not losing your place is because changes to the server do not affect what's in the browser. Nitpick: That's a HTTP 'REST' feature, surely? The feature then is that PHP doesn't chuck out your sessions because the code has changed. But then other platforms can do this.
