Wet cats
Posted at 8:22am on Wednesday, April 27th, 2005Wondering (as I have been for some time) about why exactly PHP sucks quite so badly when you really try to get into something I was intrigued to come across this piece by Rasmus (one of PHP’s creators):
PHP is not about purity in CS principles or architecture, it is about solving the ugly web problem with an admittedly ugly, but extremely functional and convenient solution. If you are looking for purity you are in the wrong boat. Get out now before you get hit by a wet cat!
Don’t get me wrong. I love PHP for exactly the reasons he outlines in that piece, but I sure do hate it for those self same reasons as well.
