I feel like php was adopted much earlier than python and java.

I remember around 98 having some sun engineers come brief my team on Java Beans. They sounded really cool at the time. I guess Java Script ended up stealing Java Bean’s intended audience.

I wonder why java took so long to (briefly) take hold. Unlike Bill Joy’s other famous tools, Java doesnt hold up the way VI does today.
