I did not said you specifically but I doubt you have years of experience in PHP and Java but let me know How what was the better alternative back then? Writing webpackes in C or some proprietary language with a paid compiler? Was there something much better and for some reason people used PHp because was cool and were tons of "write in PHP zelots"?
From my memory the LAMP stack was free and was easy to start with, Java was much more productive then the alternatives and it had good tools, books and documentation. I can't think at any good alternative except the late C# but Microsoft was to incompetent to do the right thing and kept it proprietary and Windows only for a long time.
- agumonkey 5y agoI don't think the word productive ever reached my brain when I was learning websphere. Annotation driven servlets never felt exciting or clean (unlike the post closure / decorator era where you can write stuff clearly and rapidly). I'm calling for a winner language here, I'm saying praising java position is a strange notion of success, it's everywhere indeed, but for what reasons ?

So what else was more productive? you said PHP is not the answer and "websphere" is not Java the language or Java the ecosystem (think of the many Java libraries out there and at the good enough Java standard library compared to others)
