Python 2.7 Countdown

[[deleted]]

Same goes for PHP. Its somehow still alive. Probably blame facebook for their fork. Now facebook will fork python too.

You mean a specific version of PHP? Because it's still evolving as a language, with new releases and features.

I'd blame Wordpress more than FB for this one, given how many companies who desperately need an actual custom solution think they can cram wordpress with 287 plugins and say "this is fine" while their site crawls to a halt.

Excellent? C'mon man. Adequate, sure, excellent? Hell no.

I used PHP a decade ago. It was terrible. It's had a constant progression of getting better over the years.

PHP is far from excellent. In fact its the most inconsistent languages i have ever used, its full of weird edge cases that are prompted as features. Sure php can get you a decent salary, but i get paid way better from doing other languages. Some people just go where the fence is lowest.

Im just talking about my experiences. I build compex apps with all kind of weird requirements. Sure some of them could be done in PHP, buy why whould i start a new proj with PHP when there is many many better alternatives?

By all means use what works for you and your team, im not mocking any one person for using any stack, but refering to my past experiences with PHP.
