PHP hasn't been a joke since PHP 4, when it pretty much supplanted Perl, which until then had been the dominant scripting language for the web. Its deceptive simplicity has been both its strongest and weakest point. On the one hand, it helped draw hordes of young developers into the field. On the other hand, it gave a lot of programming power to a bunch of people with very little programming experience, leading to the image of a buggy joke of a language. I don't think who has had a serious look at PHP would call it a joke these days. |
