One can put together a set of (Fast)CGI scripts in almost any language, given environment variables and some IPC is supported (IDK what IPC FastCGI uses exactly, bug CGI is envvars). Same goes with exposing a custom socket server. I guess people associate languages with frameworks and that's why they think these things are not possible in them. Or they like the <?php ?> style intermingling of 4 programming languages, which is a pathetic bad practice that turns the program into a pseudo-quine immediately. Just read the source of a WordPress plugin (keep a nylon bag handy because it's gonna give you nausea, to say the least).
- Mikushi 8y agoExcept OP made no mention of Wordpress, its notoriously bad and any decent developer who also happens to use PHP knows not to touch it with a ten foot pole.
- 52-6F-62 8y agoAs someone in a position who's primary job has [had] little to do with WordPress plugin work, but is at the same time increasingly exposed to that due to sales department directives... you've understated it. And while I'm not a huge fan of working in PHP, it has its place— my remark is unrelated to that.
