This does not justify chosing PHP for a new project.
There are hundreds of examples that show how bad PHP really is. Why make the choice of using a broken language when there are so many better alternatives?
I strongly believe that using a complex, non consistent and hard to debug language actually slows down development and is even dangerous.
Being "absolutly everywhere" is not an argument. COBOL, PASCAL and FORTRAN used to be everywhere too.
- lucperkins 14y agoNo, "absolutely everywhere" is not an argument by itself. But sometimes ubiquity is earned. If Facebook powered its front end using FORTRAN, I would call it a quiet powerhouse, too!
- spahl 14y agoYou can always build things with at scale, even with flawed languages (look at javascript). The thing is, why choose a flawded language when there are others less flawed (nothing is perfect) for new code?
