| 23:02:18 |  ctmartin | C, PHP <5.6, Java |
| 23:06:24 | ctmartin | For context, I find things in Java tend to be unwieldy to run and often bloated. C & PHP are on the basis of how easy and frequently people do bad stuff with them |
| 23:06:40 | ctmartin | In the case of C, see the MITRE top 25 link in backscroll |
| 23:08:22 |  desnudopenguino[m] | PHP < 7 |
| 23:08:26 |  xbot1313 | LoudNoises++ |
| 23:08:58 | ctmartin | php 5.6 added a lot of good stuff, i'll give it a break |
| 23:09:08 | desnudopenguino[m] | yeah, but no more support :( |
| 23:09:10 | ctmartin | e.g. password_hash |
| 23:09:18 | ctmartin | fair |
| 23:09:28 |  dzho | the nominal triplet was PHP, labview, and Matlab |
| 23:09:33 | dzho | :shrug: |
| 23:09:34 | ctmartin | redhat offers support still |
| 23:10:24 | desnudopenguino[m] | the worst part of PHP is the mess that comes from devs without enough experience to use it safely |
| 23:10:50 | desnudopenguino[m] | and the "i'll make my own framework" mindset therein |
| 23:11:08 | ctmartin | php is sort of designed to allow that 😂 |
| 23:11:54 |  jibby | Php was designed to generate simple HTML & kinda interact with a database |
| 23:12:44 | jibby | In the same way that JS was designed to react to button presses, it's used for a lot of things it.. well.. doesn't fit |
| 23:13:32 | jibby | Weak typing kinda makes sense when you're displaying things, and almost no where else. The lack of proper typing has lead to some nasty bugs |
| 23:16:52 | jibby | Anyway:
|
| 23:18:51 | jibby | Perl mostly because of the cognitive overhead. I can't read it, and don't really want to learn several dozen symbols/operators/paradigms to do so |
| 23:35:38 | ctmartin | I'm at 26 news feeds right now |
| 23:36:52 | ctmartin |  image.png |
| 23:48:46 | jibby | And so it begins |
| 23:53:36 | ctmartin | Yeah, really |
| 23:53:51 | ctmartin | I decided not to include planets for the time being |
