That is a good point that it could apply to any missing feature; my point is that to say that any particular feature is "never" going to make it into the language is short-sighted at best. Just a handful of years ago, you could sa

Are TypeSscript and CoffeeScript really that much different? From what I understood, they both basically solve the same problems, one just does it in a Ruby-esque style while the other does it in a C#-esque style.

What I was referring to is the fact that they likely never delete your info, they just set disabled=1, recoverable=0. I have heard anecdotal accounts[1] and read the writing on the wall[2], along with a hunch, that they would rather not del

I was just considering transposing some of the characters in my name with Cyrillic characters -- I wonder if that'd work? E.g. replace "a" (97) with "а" (1072).

Where have you been hiding? There's been a virtual explosion in the number of languages that compile down to JS[1] in just the past 1-2 years, and TypeScript is probably the youngest of them all. CoffeeScript[2] is another big one, I b

Ok, poor example; just consider that it's single-threaded. Pretty much the only threading support is by way of a young PECL extension called pthreads[1], which is still experimental and dangerous. Otherwise, you can use the PCTL extens

Not impossible, but not easy either considering PHP is single-threaded and synchronous.

I think that is sort of the underlying theme of this article, in that the definition of "backend" has been traditionally had to define, philosophically speaking. And you can take my word for it that you should take this guy seriou

Though there's no absolute answer here, and it could very well go either way, as he explains it would most likely be irrelevant due to the fact that PHP can only process serially. For instance, if you need to run 3 SQL queries in PHP,

Is positive feedback (other than possibly yearly appraisals) not useful? I don't think the point is to replace compensation with pats-on-the-back, but rather, get in the habit of personally recognizing the positives. Too often it'
