Apple is not a web company like Google. Apple sells hardware with bundled software. Apple sucks at web, understandable so, thus competing with Google on their terms is foolish, better to compete with Google on things Apple understands, hard

There was a trend a few years ago (maybe still going) that languages with a large standard library, like PHP, is bloated. That we should strive against minimalism and then just share dependencies when needed. But then the nodejs left-pad de

This weekend I did an experiment of writing a toy project as procedural PHP instead of OOP. This was because of a discussion on reddit where someone claimed that procedural was much better than OOP, but without giving any proof or showing a

You can avoid that just using SSE to notify (no data) the frontend to rerender, you can still render everything in the backend.

You can use SSE with PHP to propagate changes.

Yes, how do I even search my own comments per subreddit? And to read anything you are almost required to be logged in because of the threading mechanism, just trying to do use find in the browser is annoying.

The capitalization of the first character for a symbol to denote public is a truly a weird design choice. If the makers of golang wanted to avoid the complexity of public , protected and private , especially if you consider C++ where yo

I guess it depends on the failure rate, but the thing is that PHP has an overwhelming lead over the others that is not even close even if you would combine everyone else vs PHP, can the failure rate be that big? What this tells us is that s

Problem is that the software license has become irrelevant for the largest tech companies. In the old days there was a fear among them, and probably rightly so, that their software would be "stolen" if they went open source. But t

Bryan Lunduke makes some really good points especially regarding Google, that Google eventually will replace Linux. It is worrying how Google eats up every market and at the same time branding their actions as good will, "hey it is ope

Ars technica's article is wrong, that is true. It claims that the survey says that PHP has a lead in server-side programming languages, that is not what the survey says, the survey only measures websites , not server-side programming

The survey uses multiple variables to figure out server side language.

try/catch can be as much as verbose try { foo(); val = bar(); baz(); } catch (Exception $e) { // all lumped together, not good } try { foo(); val = bar();

How so? Missing parenthesis for if-statements and such? Looks like a mix of Pascal and C, missing parenthesis but still have curly braces.

That is a flawed argument, why? Because BASIC died, so if we follow your analogy PHP would also have died after the initial popularity and then been replaced with something better, but that hasn't happened, thus there are some unique q

There is nothing really wrong with the methodology, it just that you have to understand what they are measuring and what the definition of a website is. https://w3techs.com/faq https://w3techs.com/technologi

Yes, it is important to understand the term "website" in this context. The survey does not measure deployed server languages.
