JS... the "winner" of the Accidental Complexity game. (It was made in a couple of weeks, so it's excusable, but... it just hurts so much that this was the language that conquered the web :| )
- eitland 6y agoYes, and realizing there is probably a larhe subset of people who'd say they love JS but hate PHP can make a man who know both too well confused. Or at least aware of the hypocrisy ;-)
- jchw 6y agoTo be fair, PHP5 really was quite a nightmare for honestly a lot of reasons that JS was never. I think most people remember PHP5 and compare it to fairly modern JS, but I must say, modern PHP is a lot better than older PHP (i still prefer just about anything else.)
- eitland 6y agoTotally agree. But comparing modern Javascript to ancient PHP would be even more unreasonable.
- jchw 6y agoYes, to be clear, I agree. I think most people just don’t realize PHP actually did improve. I’ll admit until digging into a modern PHP library I didn’t even believe it could be meaningfully better.
