i think the article misses the main point. the articles 'bashing' PHP does not say noone ever wrote good code in PHP or ever will. rather that we should change the situation where PHP is the de facto std for beginners on the web, because in their opinion there are superior alternatives. that's a valid concern imho, i mean it is 'not valid' to question wether there is good PHP code, but it is 'valid' to question whether PHP should be the std beginners language). sry for my english.
- smsm42 14y agoDe facto standards are de facto standards not because somebody decided them to be. It's because people choose it. So discussing what people "should" choose is pointless - they choose what they like, not what somebody thinks they "should".
- eLod 14y agoi disagree. first you copy others, discover and then you may alter/fine tune your decision. de facto standards are standards because "we" decide them to be.
