I love PHP but for the love of PHP haters I modified this...
#forgiveMeRasmus

Give me a real alternative and I'll give it a shot

@ieuank how about javascript? Or maybe Java? Or Python? (2 years later) or golang..

@teganburns wait a sec!! JS and Java are worse than php? How?

The problem is that you don't use JavaScript/Python/Java not in the same way as you would use PHP

Groovy, maybe?

@darkfire000 I don't really understand what you mean by that! I've used PHP (for 9yrs), JAVA (4yrs) and JS (2-3 yrs)... and I still don't understand what you mean by that!!

@darddan In php you can easily create scripted backend programms for all web servers. With Java / Python / JavaScript (NodeJS I guess) you either use a completely different approach or you do it in a CGI like way and then you can just use practically every language.

@ieuank
These are some alternatives for PHP
Python django,flask,... (very simple but lower performance than php frameworks in general)
Javascript NodeJs( fast and simple)
Ruby on rails (i dont know)

@aliafzal none of those are alternatives I'd use in production though. Nodejs at this point maybe if absolute real-time interactivity is needed but that's it
