       @fribbledomI'm very happy that my university taught most of its undergraduate computer science courses using LISPs when I studied there. Few languages come close in beauty, flexibility and conciseness.Nowadays, they use Python, because "nobody got hired to code LISP"...

       @CalmByte @fribbledom php made me think I could easily pass a class by learning it, and later got me a job. So I guess it taught me that doing literal shit is worthwhile sometimes?

       @wizard @CalmByte @fribbledom while php is an awful language, the ease with which it can be setup and do stuff with, the fact it can be used essentially anywhere, its interoperation with html and css (which are also simple),php taught me i didnt need super skills to be able to share something with the world.

       @Creideiki @fribbledom Bullshit!Look at #clojure ! There are a lot of companies looking for clojure coders and they pay really well.

       @twee @wizard @CalmByte @fribbledom Yeah, php is by no means a perfect language, but if I need a simple, portable dynamic website that will work on almost any webserver out there, php is really the only choice.

       @twee @wizard @fribbledom oh yeah, I absolutely feel that. don't let me shitting on PHP detract from the fact it is dead simple to get running and use, and that with the proper frameworks it's not a terrible choice for resilient programming.as it stands though, I've seen it trap many beginners into very, VERY bad ways of handling web-dev stuff, which is fine when you're playing around with things or creating things for fun, but starts to introduce severe pain points in professional applications.
