Joke aside, it does contribute a lot. On one hand ability to get programmers (for acceptable price) depends on it, and on the other some languages are simply not suited for some environments. Would you believe I once saw backend service written in PHP4? And not a small one either. It was just the only language the 2 original authors knew... Apparently they had a bit of memory problems because substr (or similar) leaked a few bytes, which over a course of few months amounted to quite a lot of memory. |
