So I guess the (currently third place) "Other" is mostly PHP? I know it's not cool but it still seems strange to leave that popular and frequently used platform out of the poll.

- thaumaturgy 13y agoHip developers are not allowed to acknowledge the existence of ... that language. Uttering its name is forbidden.
- hdevalence 13y ago<?php $foo = "0wz"; $foo++; $foo++; echo "PHP goes to $foo"; ?>
- RossM 13y agoResults in: http://3v4l.org/koVpq http://3v4l.org/koVpq Reasoning: 0wz++ = 0xa (converted from hex to dec) = 10++ = 11 Not sure why 0wz++ = 0xa, but if you increment strings I'd expect oddities (or some sort of ascii increment).
- thaumaturgy 13y agoOh, bravo. That is nice. It took me a moment to figure out. For others: PHP allows you to increment strings, and if you try to do that, it follows Perl's habits (http://perldoc.perl.org/perlop.html#Auto-increment-and-Auto-decrement http://perldoc.perl.org/perlop.html#Auto-increment-and-Auto-...): "If, however, the variable has been used in only string contexts since it was set, and has a value that is not the empty string and matches the pattern /^[a-zA-Z][0-9]\z/ , the increment is done as a string, preserving each character within its range, with carry..." So "0wz"++ becomes "0xa", "0xa"++ becomes "the hexadecimal representation of 10, plus one". I learned something new today.

- rmangi 13y agoAnyone who would start a new project from scratch in PHP hasn't been paying attention.
- ssiddharth 13y agoPaying attention to what?
- JonoBB 13y agoAnyone who doesn't have much faith in php probably hasn't been paying attention to the changes in recent times.
- jakejake 13y agoIf PHP was the language you knew best and your goal was to launch a product - then PHP would be a reasonable choice. If your goal was to be cool, then obviously PHP would be a terrible choice.
