Let me put it like this then: do you feel that we have, in the programming language space, uncovered fantastic new ways of enriching humanity since PHP?
- sgaither 13y agoYes, the growth in the webspace can be partly attributable to programming being more stable, more accessible to beginners. Do you think the hard part of any programming/engineering project is learning a new language?
- evjan 13y agoYes, not disagreeing with you there. And no, I don't think so.
- kaonashi 13y agoI can't figure out a point to this conversation other than the pure link-bait and troll value.
- evjan 13y agoLet me assure you that I am very serious about this, I did not write it just to get a spike in visitors to my site. I have no ads on my site, more visitors don't make much of a difference to me other than spreading the word and getting more people to challenge me.
- kaonashi 13y agoWell, considering javascript is exclusively single-threaded in a time where multi-core is becoming the exclusive means by which processors are scaling, it would be the one of the worst possible languages to converge upon.
- lcedp 13y agoWide use of JavaScript which we are talking about started in attempt to enrich web platform. Otherwise we would be just using PHP for web and that's it.
- evjan 13y agoYes, and I'm not advocating for us choosing one language for all eternity. If Mandarin or Hausa become the next de facto business languages in the area I live in, I'd learn them.
