<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0)">This 4-minute video is hilarious! But, it also highlights a pet peeve of mine - that the current crop of programming languages for the Web are a bunch of trash cobbled together by cowboys and other amateurs. PHP is notoriously in that camp, with its details changing (backward non-compatible to some degree) with every new whole-number version.<br> <br>A noteworthy exception is Java (not JavaScript), which was designed by real computer scientists at Sun a few decades ago.<br> <br>The other current and near-current "real" languages (but not Web-specific languages) are of course C, C++, C#, Ada, and even MS Basic.<br> <br>A similar parallel (pun accidental) exists in control panels. The world's most popular one is cPanel (and its WHM other half), cobbled together by Texas cowboys - real junk! The best control panel is Parallels Plesk, designed by some top-notch real programmers in Russia.<br> <br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Hartmut W Sager - Tel +1-204-339-8331<br></span></font><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
