I don't mean to bash php in any way (as in the Ruby plugs in my last
post). I use it because it has so many advantages over other more
system-oriented not web-oriented languages for this type of work. It's
fantastic.
I see so much enthusiasm on the web for this language, a significant
codebase, feature list (I'm not sure, but does ASP generate SWF files,
PDF files, support IMAP, etc), and it has a lot of great developers
dedicated to it. But we need to be constantly self-critical, or we
won't see areas we can improve in.
I also feel it's good to know more than one language, so you get more
than one approach and you're more adaptable to situations that PHP (or
whatever your language of choice may be) can't work in.
(And I'm far too opinionated for my own good)
later
