PHP(2005..n) for when you fail the interview for the above "fancy lang" at FAANG :P

PHP is like the backup-plan(welder,lawyer etc) your parents wanted you to have before going out on the road with your band and making it big :D

/mostly-sarcasm - but a little true ?




It is, a friend built a consultancy doing PHP, and they have enough work to keep them going, keep the lights on, and focus on other stuff relevant to them.

PHP would actually be (1998...n), PHP 3 was when it took off.

Yea was wondering what to put as a start date, I decided on the year I left varsity and walked into my first "professional job" coding C++ (Borland C++ Builder) within 6 months, we changed the "C++ Server" with Apache and some wacky PHP files.

But you are right :)


If you miss those days you can have a go at RAD Server. :)
