in reply to php?
I like PHP. For Web development, it's still one of the best things out there. The language itself reminds me of Perl, Lisp and C (in that order), while managing to retain an identity. It's also more aesthetically pleasing in the traditional way (whereas Perl's beauty is... shall we say... hidden from the unappreciative eye); my habit of writing all code in the FORM:(...)endFORM; syntax gives it just enough of a Pascal-ish tinge to it that it's symmetrical and pleasing, but not as BDSM as Pascal. And of course, the huge integrated library of functions is great for Web developers... especially creative ones. My only real quibble with it is its object model, which is completely unsatisfactory; then again, if I wanted objects, I should go use Zope, right? All in all, PHP is an excellent system, very well suited for the purpose for which it was created. That's all I have to say.
