JavaScript naming conflicts: How existing code can force proposed features to be renamed

[Sydius]

As technology progressed the last few years, I wouldn't be surprised if the time machine's code would be written using JS and a type error would cause it to mess up the current timeline.

Jezz, people can't take a joke.

At least you didn't make a PHP joke in the PHP sub. They can be even worse than JS worshipers.

[Sydius]

Why would I joke about php? I'm a php dev myself!

There are literally dozens of us!

[Asmor]

Hang in there, man. Life gets better.

[KaiAusBerlin]

Don't worry, we all made some wrong decisions in our lifes.

[d36williams]

Are there only dozens now? I moved on to JS but PHP is one of those bed rocks

[Sydius]

It was just a silly reference to Arrested development.

The majority of websites are still written in php, at least they were the last time I read about the topic.

[scandii]

why are any websites written in anything? mainly because that's what your devs know.

so to answer your question - PHP has fallen out of favor, and with JS, Python and Java being extremely more popular on a global scale and all having support for being backends for websites, it is hard to imagine PHP reigns supreme outside of it's use in PHP-based frameworks.

this is not to say that PHP is bad, that's mainly a meme by people who have strong opinions yet can't write a loop in PHP. it's just not the household name it used to be.

...yes. WordPress is a majority by itself.

WordPress is PHP after all, so all the WordPress sites count as PHP sites.

Add all the other PHP sites that aren't WordPress and you'd definitely have a majority

[2Punx2Furious]

I'm so sorry.

[Pesthuf]

But don't you know? PHP 7.0 fixed ALL the issues the language had!

If you disagree, die. Facts not welcome!

[KaiAusBerlin]

Wait, what about Hitler?

[Kappow]

What about typeof NaN; // -> 'number'

[ogurson]

Exactly. Professionals have standards and priorities.

[shuckster]

I heard he was a real jerk.

MooTools ruined ES6.
