10 seconds? Slight exaggeration, surely.

Unless you specify the hardware and compare with the OP your claims are meaningless.

Ruby is a beautifully-designed, concise language. PHP is the opposite. If you like Java-style verbosity you may like PHP. I don't.

OP was comparing Ruby and PHP.

Thousands at Railsconf or Clojure Conj would disagree, I'm sure but these languages are kinda special.

Ruby, Clojure, Go, Kotlin, Rust.

Yes because PHP5+ is pseudo-Java.

Rails console, metaprogramming, elegant blocks, procs & lambdas, Turbo/Hotwire. Concise Ruby language vs PHP framework code with hideous inlined fully-qualified method paths.

If you're going to pull numbers out of a hat at least provide some evidence, especially evidence based on a comparable workload.

Maybe with "Hello world" in Node but not orders. Business-grade Rust web framework? Give me a break.

Rails does a pretty good job.

Clojure is head and shoulders above other lisps. Watch Rich Hickey's Sermons From the Mount in the years following Clojure's release and you may never be the same again. At least that was my experience. David Nolen's Clojures

> If LISP is so fantastic why isn't there a serious effort to make it multicore-friendly? There is. It's called Clojure.

If there is to be any post-war justice it will involve serious Russian reparations with their economy already significantly weakened. Add to that the lessons learned by EU member states and I don't see any rapprochement for a very long

Yes, those freaks on Russian TV's daily propaganda round table are much scarier than Putin.

'li' == 'libre'. Yeah, right, so obvious.

Agreed. Builder.build() wtf!!?

I don't know about absorbing the best ideas. Java, even after the introduction of raw string literals, still can't handle a regex without escaping metacharacters. Perl had that one solved in the 90s.

by cutler 3y ago
I don't get how a Spring app rewritten in PHP, assuming a framework is used, reduces code significantly given that PHP5+ is a dynamically-typed Java clone with the same mind-numbing boilerplate.

Go more ubiquitous than Node.js? In your dreams.

PHP lost its identity with the release of PHP5 since when it is nothing more than an interpreted version of Java.

Wasn't Ember the idiomatic choice before React? I don't remember Angular being that popular with Rails devs generally.

I think you need `ruby -i -ple` to handle newlines properly.

"perl or python". Don't forget Ruby.

The Holy Grail of POSIX-portable shell scripts is irrelevant these days. Just use bash which is the default on most *nix systems.

I wrote a Python script which checks the version of every programming language, JDK etc. on my Mac then scrapes the website of each language to compare it with the latest version. Simple but a great time-saver.

Then you're just reimplementing CSS classes in Tailwind.
