It's always surprised me that Jeff has stuck with PHP. The guy is a very capable programmer who I thought would have moved on to bigger and better things.
I guess the market for tutorials and learning is larger for PHP than most other languages, except Javascript, possibly...
- hdra 12y agoSo you're saying no capable programmer would stick with PHP given the choice? what makes you think so?
- hackerboos 12y agoBecause, put quite simply, there are better choices.
- noir_lord 12y agoI've been programming since I was a kid, I'm 34 now, I've been selling code since I was 16 and I still use PHP for the web. It has an intersection of features (speed of development, ease of deployment, availability of libraries, availability of programmers) that makes it a compelling choice for the web. Everything else (except toy stuff) I do in Python.
