I wasn't asked me to defend anything. Let's not forget that back in 2004 many alternatives that are fairly robust today were not as functional as PHP was.

- j_col 15y agoI was referring to this exchange from the article: Q: "4. What do you think of PHP as a language from your perspective, regarding that Facebook was initially written in PHP then transformed to C++ using HipHop for PHP. What are the pros and cons of using C++ over PHP at Facebook?" A: "I was afraid you were going to ask that :o" Sounds like being asked to defend your decision to use PHP to me, unless I'm reading it wrong.
- andralex 15y agoOh, I see. The attempt at a joke there was that I felt awkward to talk trash about a language as a proponent of another.
