I have being using PHP since it was call PHP - Personal Home Page. The best part of the PHP is the templating! It makes a lot more sense then Perl at the time.

I have being using PHP since it was call PHP - Personal Home Page. The best part of the PHP is the templating! It makes a lot more sense then Perl at the time. Now days templating can easily be replaced by EJS. Personally I wouldn't want to use any language that does not have closure and function as a first class citizen. It makes programming fun and productive. BTW, the 2 + 0.3 thing you are mentioning are all fixed by ES15 and ES6.

> The best part of the PHP is the templating! I've used PHP for about 15 years give or take, off and on. Before that I variously used Perl, ColdFusion or ASP for fairly routine Web services. Mostly I use PHP for straightforward CRUD work, for which it is very well suited. I'm currently using it for what is effectively a glorified CMS system. It's perfect for the task, I essentially never encounter something in PHP that causes me consequential problems within the lane that I'm using it. Although had they not dramatically boosted performance with the 7 releases, I might have opted for something else at this juncture.
