"with a fairly complete and correct library for writing webapps"
Some of which were dangerous and unwieldy actually. Then proven dangerous and unwieldy. And then most of things that made idiomatic PHP were removed from the language or discouraged and nobody writes that way anymore.
- graysnorf 14y agoSuggesting that, at least for language adoption, a standard library that is "good enough" is sufficient, and can be fixed later.
- dllthomas 14y agoThis probably depends on the environment (including alternatives) at the time.
- agumonkey 14y agoIt didn't matter, the reference frame was aligned with php for most things, it seems to me that it was more "valuable" to have bad glue between curl, mysql, foo, than have a good linguistic substrate and good stdlib.
