in thread The REAL reason for why they choose PHP over Perl.

Since 97% of the Perl hate I’ve encountered in the wild came from Java and Python users and both languages were around before 1999—and Java, despite its corporate support, is so philosophically removed from Perl that anyone who likes it couldn’t like Perl—I’m’a hafta say, nope.

    Interesting. There's a lot of self-hate from Java and Python programmers generally unhappy about various things but it all seems to boil down to: working with systems that impose unreasonable authoritarian ideologies. They're just jealous that Perl was written by an American who understands freedom of expression. :-)
