"for them it's a proven workhorse language in which they can get things done on the web" ... which has a lot to do with its broad adoption (and thus easy hiring), and with certain software packages like Drupal, WordPress, Moodle and so on.
When has the elegance or power of a language ever been a consideration in the general business culture?
- trebor 15y agoIt hasn't been the case with Fortran or COBOL, IMO. And both are still used, despite being "dead," to maintain legacy systems that companies can't quite afford to replace yet.
