Is it good software thanks to PHP, or in spite of PHP?

  It's good software in spite of the difficulty of creating such a system in any language. It's good software in spite of the inherent difficulties in creating software. It's good software in spite of computers.

  Because rewriting it in a different language automatically makes it better software..? I don't think the language really matters.

    When I first wanted to build a website, I wanted to use C, because that was the language I knew best at the time. I'm glad I decided against idea as time went on.

      Heh. I have written precisely one CGI. It's in C. It also does precisely what I needed it to do.

  PHP really just isn't that bad. It's quirky but it's also quite capable.
