The importance of mod_php, it's robustness, stability and speed is completely underappreciated. It's not just the language with all it's quirks that people should be focusing on. The php stack is easier to use and configure than any of the other language/framework stacks making the time to publish faster.
Passenger (mod_rack/mod_rails) looks like an attempt to imitate that stack to some degree but so far the results are far from perfect.
- derpmeister 14y agoRobustness and stability are not properties of mod_php.
- ecocentrik 14y agorobustness and stability would both be properties of the language interpreter (mod_php, cgi, fastcgi...) mod_php is stable enough for what it is... robustness is arguable... mod_php might not scale but it's a key component in php's popularity because it's a zero configuration plugin for apache that works perfectly for the needs of 90% of people writing php or running php applications.
