At the very start around 95,96 tech stack was a Linux or FreeBSD box running apache, configured for cgi-bin to execute whatever program/script you have. Programs were written in most programs were written in bash, perl & C, data was stored in text files
I personally started with bash, C & perl and storing data in text files. then moved to python and RDBMS
Those that were forward thinking were adopting php, python & java.
- matt_the_bass 8y agoI feel like php was adopted much earlier than python and java. I remember around 98 having some sun engineers come brief my team on Java Beans. They sounded really cool at the time. I guess Java Script ended up stealing Java Bean’s intended audience. I wonder why java took so long to (briefly) take hold. Unlike Bill Joy’s other famous tools, Java doesnt hold up the way VI does today.
