Your junior-level knowledge of web development is coming out in your overly negative and anti-PHP ranting today. The end result of any backend web service is quite simply "writing to stdout". That's how HTTP works. How exactly does the transport mechanism have any bearing on the platform?
Let's not forget web development today consists of a substantial amount of both back-end and front-code, the latter of which operates in a fashion much like GUI object model.
- debacle 14y ago> Your junior-level knowledge of web development Lets not make personal attacks here, okay?
- sbarre 14y agoYour top-level comment's last statement was, in a way, a personal attack on every PHP developer on here.
- paul-woolcock 14y agoYou mean like this one? > PHP is the core web language because PHP devs (for the most part) are cheap, replaceable parts.
- andrewflnr 14y agoBut the "just writing to stdout" aspect is much closer to the surface in PHP than in, say, Django/Python, where your code's last interaction with a web request is returning an object from a view. IMHO, that's one of the cool things about PHP. But that aspect of PHP probably won't translate to GUI programming. I don't know if it has any other features that will make GUIs similarly easy. The fact that web front ends operate like OO GUIs doesn't really help your point (if you're arguing that PHP is well-suited for GUIs), since those aren't written in PHP now.
