His post irritated the hell out of me. For 90% of it, he rips on PHP, then at the end he says, "how about bloggers stop ripping on PHP?"
Hey guys, Jeff said his piece about PHP, everyone else shut up about it now.

I sense this is probably done quite a lot in journalism, so you can write 'interesting' articles without coming off like a completely biased douche.
I don't even get the part where he says that we need to come up with better solutions. So, if we want better solutions when are they going to arrive. It's not like that the solutions are getting baked in some oven or something.
We have new solutions that we can use. We may even call them better, but I don't think that I will quit a language just for the fun of using something new.
PHP might be st, it might even break at times, but there are some wonderful frameworks which have come up lately. Laravel is one of them and a number of developers are contributing to the code. One cannot just ignore the fact that so many people have gone mad and not even a single one of them actually felt the need to quit PHP forever and build a new language that is better than it.
