My point wasn't that these things don't exist in other languages. Again, I'm not saying that PHP is objectively better than anything else. I know not to play that game. All that I'm doing is remaining steadfast in my claim that PHP doesn't deserve all the flak that it gets and that the language deserves consideration for a whole variety of use cases. That's all!
- papsosouid 14y agoBut if it isn't objectively better than similar languages in any way, then why does it deserve consideration? "You can work around and/or avoid most of the horrible problems in PHP" isn't a compelling argument in favour of PHP when every other language just doesn't have those horrible problems to begin with.
- TylerE 14y agoExactly. More cogently: If PHP is where python was in 2007, why wouldn't I want to use the python of 2012?
- malachismith 14y agoIn that case, shouldn't we all be using C?
- papsosouid 14y agoI can't think of any logical way to put your post in context. Why would we all be using C?
