Even ignoring that which other commenters have pointed out, I simply don't buy it for one reason: that PHP slice is way too small.

- AndrewVos 16y agoYeah it's oddly disturbing. My thoughts are that they just don't care that much about life anymore to swear in their commits?

- soneil 16y agoIt'd be interesting to see the original dataset. At the risk of stereotyping, what's the chances php programmers simply don't leave useful commits? (and perl programmers don't leave anything parsable ..)
- tudorizer 16y agoHmm, what's the % of PHP code on github?
- code_duck 16y agoThis goes along with my observations, having read a lot of PHP code. There's a certain level of professionalism in PHP projects, believe it or not, that is different from what you see in Ruby, Python, C++, etc. The difference? Many PHP programmers are not really hackers, they're just trying to get something done. They're not programming for the joy of it, for the most part, they're just trying to get some plug-in done for a CMS for some client. The code and comments often end up structured and informational, in a Java kind of way.
