Oo Nwoye

Reasons I believe folk stick with PHP: 1. It was the first "language" they learnt 2. They're insecure in their ability to learn another one

@farinjini PHP as opposed to .NET?

@OoTheNigerian PHP as opposed to anything else, .NET (C#), Ruby, Java, Python etc... all of which can and are used for web.

@farinjini I think ease of server setup helps a lot. Of course Wordpress has played a huge role providing a "first steps" platform.

@OoTheNigerian I could easily go on a rant here, but I'll hard not to.

@farinjini You're 'rant' will be probably base on "what should be" as opposed to "what is". Which is why PHP and now Javascript rules.

@OoTheNigerian but you're referring to web only. PHP doesn't work outside of web and there's a lot more to coding than web alone.
