Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] web development language of choice

The errors are still pretty cryptic compared to a C++ compile-time errors.
Considering most of the time I've worked with PHP has been fixing my
errors, its annoying.

I think PHP is so popular because it is so easy to get started. 
<?php
echo "hello world";
?>

Bam. Very low entry barriers. I saw Jay do a hello world in perl and it
required all kinds of includes and whatnot. 

I wish PHP was more OOP, as it would make some stuff easier and my
programs look cleaner.
