For a PHP rant this was quite disappointing.
- noir_lord 13y agoAlso brings absolutely nothing new to the debate, the same tired points over and over again. It always strikes me as a form of hipster-ism, if a language is widely used (particularly) in the enterprise it has to because "people don't know better". Even the title is condescending, "You use PHP because you don't know better". Really? Ok, take my case. I'm 33, I've programmed since I was 7, for money since I was 14, I've programmed in everything from z80 assembly through C, Turbo Pascal through Delphi and Visual Basic into .Net and Python. In my late 20's I went back to school and got a degree in Software Engineering. If you feel the need to insult others you know nothing about because of a language they use without knowing why they use that language then you are an idiot (in my opinion). I've seen beautiful code written in Visual Basic that delivered real value and absolute monstrosities written in Python. My latest (and quite large project) is written in PHP but hey I don't know any better.
