>> So I guess it depends on your definition of "high quality code". I don't think quality code is about some arbitrary coding aesthetic. It's about results, and it's about what your code does, and how it creates value. Moving the goal posts so that the definition of 'high quality' is basically code that compiles and runs as long as it 'creates value'? What about when you have to change it later? What about if it has to be really fast? People who think that Javascript and PHP are crappy languages aren't just comparing these languages to 'arbitrary coding aesthetics'. |

I'm not defending the design of JS and PHP. I'm saying that if you are a good engineer, then you can produce code that is quality in these languages.
Also, I'm pretty sure Facebook gets "updated" and is "fast" ;)
