PHP is shiny bloated freak that appeals to graphically inclined people
because most PHP developers put a lot of effort into their HTML so that
it looks really sharp (which is very good in itself but has absolutley
nothing to do with PHP or any language for that matter.)
The problem with PHP is under the hood, you have some very serious
issues that can lead to very serious problems like root kits and network
attacks, spam relaying, or a less serious site defacement and stealing
disk space. (All of which we've been hired to track down and fix for
various data centers all over the US)
So maybe I should thank PHP for all the oportunity to deal with its
stupidity that has paid the salar :)
Keep up the crappy work PHP, so I'll always have a job to do :)
PHP has very few templating systems and they just kill php's biggest
advantage [...]
There are plenty of PHP templating systems, and coding PHP gets a lot
more pleasant with a good template system.
I think what he meant was, most PHP "template" systems are simply drop
in php scripts that are normal PHP that gets done (IE include()ed) as
part of the page.
If you did use a real templating system with PHP thats when you "just
kill php's biggest advantage" because now there's no need for its
"embedded in HTML" funtionality, bottom line: PHP blows :)
Another advantage of perl which was not pointed in that web page is
that perl has perldoc
The PHP documentation at http://www.php.net/manual/en/ is very
practical.
What if you are coding on a machine without an internet connection?
There may be a local version, just not sure :)
