Say what you want about PHP. It gets the job done and it's supported on most shared hosting providers.
Hmm. Well. Isn't PHP the preferred language of that robot person from youtube? Maybe the problem with PHP is that it glows too much.
Eh. Not youtube. Amazon? Oh! Facebook!
(Yes, my brain just had to make effort to remember this, and just now I remembered the name is Zuckerberg. Fuck me,)
@nerdman Facebook made their own server language called Hack which is meant to replace PHP.
I mean I use whatsapp to chat with my mom and my wife, but if it weren't for them I wouldn't have ever touched facebook shit even once.
@troonigger Yeah. I really don't understand the hate either, but from what I can tell, the debate on which server-side language you should use is much more divisive than the debate on general-purpose languages.
I also like to go by the "keep it simple stupid" philosophy, so I would just go with the language that everyone is use to and is the most widely supported as opposed to some obscure language/library/framework that is going to require contributors to jump through hoops. Like seriously, I didn't know what Elixir was until I heard of Pleroma.
also true of windows and condoms
Don't say that! They'll point at you and call you uncool.
