So far I'm proficient enough in php to be able to do almost everything I want. Your article is very honest. I never understood the php bashing. If you don't know how to use a type of screw driver use a different kind, at the end of the day the screw will be driven.
- lemcoe9 14y agoPHP is good for what it is. I absolutely love it, and, like I said in the article, owe a majority of my success to it.
- jmcdonald-ut 14y agoI became interested in computer science initially with PHP. It had a low barrier to entry and worked rather well for solving the problems at hand. Now that I've worked with C#, Java, C++, and Ruby I can say that PHP still very much exists in my toolkit (and is used), but has become a tool that I rarely reach for. The bashing that PHP gets, it often deserves. However, I've come to accept that all languages have their pros and cons.
- sluu99 14y agoThe difference is in real life, nobody has to maintain said "screw driver." Your metaphor is not sound sir!
- dscrd 14y agoPHP is an awful language because it has tons upon tons of quirks... pretty much like Javascript. Sometimes, I am able to find it amusing that most of the web is built on them.
