       I think #linux would have been mostly illegal by now had it not been for PHP.

       @alrs Intriguing post. Not sure why PHP instead of maybe Apache.

       @frankstrater It's not that I'm a fan of PHP. Apache use was declining, IIS was growing, and then PHP came along.

       @alrs I remember that period very well as it was early in my career. Developing on WAMP, deploying on LAMP. PHP4 and also MySQL should get the most credit.

       @alrs It also marked the beginning of the end of Perl

       @frankstrater In retrospect it's kind of wild that there was any kind of hierarchy between the single-core lotsa-FFI scripting languages. There has to be a worst-case poster-child codebase out there somewhere that migrated from #Perl->#Python->#Ruby->#nodejs for ??reasons??.
