PHP is on top globally so must feature heavily somewhere. Glad you like it :)
Yeah, I'm based in the uk and everywhere I first looked at came up as PHP. Thought it was a hilarious troll at first.
"Feature heavy" would indeed be a way of describing PHP.
Yeah. Programming in PHP is like swimming with anvils tied to your ankles. Every time I write something that increases the amount of processing on a page, I feel like I'm stabbing a kitten.
:) I know exactly what you mean.
I'm sort of surprised that Java is so popular, it gets so little press these days -- but I guess it's what people are really using.
Java is the Cobol of today. If you want steady work, work for someone making steady money. That'd be the banks, and similar BigCos where technology is not what they sell.
I remember when Java was the "new kid on the block" which means I feel very old right now!
