Gah, why does Google Group always break my links up :/
The worst part is that I'm still forced to use PHP from time to time,
since I supply many of my clients with a PHP-based CMS, Drupal.
The code in Drupal is not particularly nasty, but thinking about why
$server = explode('.', implode('.', array_reverse(explode(':',
rtrim($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], '.'))))); needs to be so complex and find
the itty bitty syntax error that might sneak itself into to a complete
mess of different parentheses, concatenation operators and other nasty
stuff. Python is not perfect, but it /is/ better :)
In any case, I'd rather not have to implement my own "one-size-fits-
all" CMS. Ever. Drupal is a good system in many ways.
