PHP. Unfortunately it's earned itself a terrible reputation due to its popularity with beginners. You can start throwing tomatoes now :)

- eip 13y agoYea... I don't work with PHP. I don't think its popularity with beginners is what earned it a 'terrible reputation' though. There are quite a few other good reasons to not like it.
- beat 13y agoI have a hard time thinking of PHP as "old". :) C is old. FORTRAN is old. And I'd argue that PHP's terrible reputation isn't because it's old, but rather because it's primitive. It has all sorts of nasty coupling between layers, and encourages bad programming habits. On the other hand, something like 75% of the world's websites run on it, so it can't be that hard to find PHP programmers.
- johnsocs 13y agoC is old ? I'm a 31 year old developer and I really enjoy working in C, maybe I'm just old ;)
