The Three Worst Programming Languages
- lsiunsuex 11y agoreads title of HN post I'll bet my weeks paycheck PHP is on this list Clicks link Yep! PHP made the top of the list! I got my start in PHP 3/4 of my resume is about experience using PHP Every week I get a message from a recruiter on LinkedIN about a job using... PHP IMO - That means PHP is a great language; it got me my start; it got me most of my jobs and it continues to produce prospects for new jobs in PHP Stop hating on PHP!
- paulhauggis 11y agoPHP only gets a bad name because there is so much crap code out there. It's also not cool anymore. I remember when RoR was all the rage here on HN. Nobody wanted to admit the glaring DB and security issues and anyone against RoR during that time was promptly down voted and called an idiot. It's funny. All the RoR people I know jumped ship years ago and moved onto the next 'cool' language. IE: Javascript Frameworks. Many startups are just as much about using the hip new language as they are changing the world. The real software engineers use what they know works, not what's cool.
