And PHP has super-aggressive garbage collection and C has none. And C compiles to machine code and PHP compiles to optcode. And...wait a second, why are we comparing this two unrelated technologies again?

This is still the main reason why I use PHP: the development cycle is just so fast, and if you are experienced enough to write good code without anyone holding your hand, you can do great work in PHP in a much shorter period of time when co

In production, or just your dev environment?

Install user agent switcher on FF, then set your user agent string to match the Google bot (they never block that): https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-sw...

You can now finally use a string in a switch statement, hurray (it's the little things that make me happy)! http://download.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/la...

Not suprising considering who is behind it, and how much free press they are getting for their efforts (wish my own startup was getting as much press lovin'). Will be interesting to see how many of these users are there to stay though, and

Damn, long thread. I use Java, PHP, and Ruby: whever gets the job done in the given problem domain. Not a fan of a technical monoculture at all. PHP has been the language that is fashionable to hate for years now, but I still love it for
