If it's THAT bad.. why is it still around and under active development 25 years on ?

Sure COBAL is also still around but the amount of new projects started in COBAL vs PHP is a lot less.




Because technologies don't win by being the best, or even by being good.

They just need to provide a killer feature and an easy path to adoption.

After that, inertia does the rest.
