For reference: We both like php, but know and understand why that is a baaaaad idea.

Delete your Account and don't come back. You should get canceled for that you sick fuck.

For the love of god, someone, call the police, this man is a fellon... Disgusting... *Spits*

@ostream oooooh i didn't know about that one. I do know about rubix for PHP. But did not know about the game lol

I would absolutely use Ruby if it wasn’t an awful idea.

I have, actually. It was an awful idea. Low frame rate for asteroids-level graphics (lines and colored tris, no textures), and random stutters thanks to the GC.

@Root on the other hand, had academia not chosen Python, I think Machine Learning in Ruby would've been more expressive and more interesting to use.

@AleCx04 I think PHP is going to be interesting the next years

Technically, it _has_ an FFI interface, so it is not impossible.

People still talk over and over how shit Python is and slow and how it could never be used for anything serious ... Guess what. They were wrong. XD

@IntrusionCM PHP is my bread and butter. Me and my boy are just traumatized for what we have seen and would rather not see it as much on the wild. Funny how that works eh?

@AleCx04 I agree... It's sad, but yes.

@IntrusionCM from our legacy codebases that sometimes need to be patched or adapted to something else, when my guys bring something up it is common to ask: "Is this R code or N code?" for the initials of the firstnames of the previous devs.

R's shit works, it is absolutely disgusting and a plethora of insults to anyone that is a true engineer. Adding to it is doable, messy but doable. This is the one we hate working with the most.

N was a bit more cautious, but he enforced security on his code through obscurity, and these two had already good PHP OOP support inside of the language when they were building their apps enough to not warrant doing it in the most repetitive copy paste procedural way known to devkind. I personally hate N's code the worst since he thought he was being cute with the way he "modularized" the code base.

Horrors left and right, and I still have memories of my days patching other people's Wordpress plugins. Good money, but man, sanity goes out the window
