At a guess I would say most good developers will no longer willingly program in PHP, so you're likely selecting for the shallow end of the talent pool, more or less. Compound that with PHP essentially making it a sack-race next to other languages' ability to get out and run, and it's happy hour at Les Mediocres.
- iamyoohoo 19y ago>> "At a guess I would say most good developers will no longer willingly program in PHP" -- Please explain? Personally, I don't have a big problem with it. Every language has its pluses and minuses. However, what language do you think most developers are interested in ? Also remember that this is not silicon valley. Also, if you have better ideas, I'm open to it. We need to pick a platform for sure and not to it like Boulder and get everyone there and disappoint some people and ask them to code in something they have never used before.
- portLAN 19y agoRuby has Rails and Python has multiple mature web frameworks (Django is one of them) and both are much nicer to program in than PHP. > However, what language do you think most developers are interested in ? Java or C#, which is why that consideration is orthogonal to your problem. > Also remember that this is not silicon valley. Apropos of --? As for the Boulder situation, my reading wasn't that nobody had used Java before, as you claim; but that "the Java platform" was the wrong choice for web development.
