Even if your self-serving guess were true, for which there is no evidence that has been presented here, it still wouldn't substantiate your claim because evaluating alternatives to your current codebase doesn't mean you're going to actually switch to any of them. So either way, PHP is not, as you claimed, "losing ground" to anyone. [a lot] > I've been trying to maintain a civil discussion here, but I have to say, Michael, thus far you have done nothing but make immature, snyde personal attacks and baseless, factually inaccurate claims. You have not contributed anything substantive or constructive to this debate up to this point. From your "rolling eyes" comment where you speculated about your dog wanting voting rights to now, you have been very disrespectful and uncivil toward everyone here. I don't want to discourage anyone from expressing their views, but on the same token, I'm not here to feed trolls. This issue clearly brings out strong emotions in some people and we clearly disagree on certain points. That said, please make a greater effort to be respectful toward other people on this list, whether you agree with them or not. Your trolling comments have all but hijacked this thread over the last 17 hours and it's detracting from substantive debate that needs to happen. If you have some issue with me personally, please take it off-list. If you're going to post further on this thread, please try to be more respectful and mature in your comments. --Kris http://w3techs.com/technologies/comparison/pl-java,pl-php,pl-ruby,pl-python,pl-js
