Perhaps there is no hope then. This is so distant from the actual case
it does not require more than pointing out.
If you want to write demons in php fine, i wince at the thought.
Demons are fantastical creatures. The word you're erroneously trying to
repeat is "daemon".
The question isnt whether a PHP programmer thinks PHP is the right tool
for the job, unanimously the answer will be 'yes' because of the myopia
of the position. It is whether people with experience on a number of
different platform, using a number of different languages think it is...
i've yet to hear *anyone* in this position advocate PHP.
I don't have myopia, I've already said many times that there can
certainly be better ways to do something, there can be more established
choices, but just because there are, doesn't preclude the use of a less
worthy tool with the possible side effect that the less worthy tool
undergoes some kind of evolution such that it becomes a better choice in
the future. There was a time when C was a less worthy choice, there was
a time when Java was a less worthy choice, there was a time when you
probably had a more open mind. The fact remains that things change, and
usually change is driven by some impetus. That impetus may indeed be due
to the selected environment having been found lacking.
Cheers,
Rob.
