"For me PHP sits in the middle as a poor language, and still slow compared to any compiled languages." No assumptions whatsoever.
2020: mobile clients. Yes, they're where the rest of the web was in 2005. Yes, they're ubiquitous.
- lolphp111 7y agoI cant believe users on legacy phones (phones from say 2010-ish era) would be writing new content on wikipedia actively. I dont care if you have the newest iphone, you still dont write anything, you just read. For those 0.00001% of users who actually create new content they most def are not using a phone to do this. > "For me PHP sits in the middle as a poor language, and still slow compared to any compiled languages." No assumptions whatsoever. Its not an assumption. PHP is slower than a compiled langauge. simple and easy. Need speed? Dont do it in a compiled language. Period.
- kmaher 7y agoNot exactly accurate regarding mobile editing. Edits on mobile-heavy wikis are up 18% YoY, which we attribute to improvements in the mobile editing interface. We have people who edit on T9 interfaces. Not many, but they exist.
