And extremely narrow in scope, being all web centric.
And what's with the who's who of poorly designed technologies?
if I had to pick a list of languages and technologies with the most annoying design deficiencies, it would be php, js, mysql, vbscript, asp. Web development still is a stinking pile of languages, but at least classic asp/vbscript and most php is gone, right?
PHP isn't even remotely gone. Between one of the largest sites in the world (Facebook) and the most popular blogging platform (Wordpress) not to mention a countless number of little (and not so little) sites, PHP is stronger than ever.
If anything, I expect PHP's arc to look more like JavaScript than Perl.
