The staples of the early web, in my mind, are html and perl CGI scripts. php might make the cut as early web, but web frameworks, like those in ruby and python, feel to me me much less like the early web, and much more like the web 2.0 days.
- iso1210 6y agoMatts Script Archive was mid 90s. Mod perl maybe just squeezes into 'early web', I think /. used it in the late 90s. Perl wasn't the only CGI in the early days - a large internal web application I encountered as late as 2004 had it's CGIs written in C, running on IRIX PHP is certainly the newcomer as far as I'm concerned
- ghaff 6y agoLike a number of languages, PHP was around for quite a while before it really took off. PHP is probably most associated with "Web 2.0" as it became the model for web interactions in the mid-2000s.
