[OT] Re: Yahoo is moving to PHP ??

[Richard Clarke]

List,
You are probably not the best people to ask for an answer which might advocate PHP,
but.....
Can someone who is more proficient in PHP than I (I have used it for 5 minutes) explain to me why it is quicker to prototype things in PHP?
I can't understand this statement. Surely this is only applicable to people who are not proficient with mod_perl & [% my_templating_engine %]?
Much of the code from PHP based websites which I have read has seemed to take this prototyping idea too much to heart. It looks more like an overly
complex prototype than a well working application.

/me doesn't get it.
