Why php and not C?

Re: Why php and not C?

by the way, really good your survey, give a good overview of developers. But I'm not sure this is really fair, as most php
respondant where surely home php user and most question are more targetted for company php developer. Still good to read it.

PHP is easier to debug over the web too. I'm not sure how gdb and Apache
fit into the whole picture, but I'm pretty sure using Zend IDE blows away

Probably because it is Microsoft's spawn.

Remember that Microsoft is one of the most hated companies on the net.

It comes in at #2 on:
