I'm convinced that PHP is just too big, too popular, and, as the author realizes and points out, too fast and utility-wise too well-equipped to die at this point in time. Whatever may be able to kill it off surely won't be Ruby, Perl nor Python.
- davidu 15y agoPerl used to be "too big, too popular" and writing Perl apps that plugged into mod_perl was what every company was trying to hire for. PHP will likely be replaced, but not for a long time and it will take time. And there are still a lot of perl hackers out there too, none suffering (aside from having to use perl).
