    PHP is the BASIC of web development, nothing to configure, no main routines, just type and run. echo "Hello world"; and from there all the functions you may need to do whatever you…

    What I love: - canvas - svg - css3 - web fonts - web sockets - local storage - geolocation HTML5 tags? It could've been better with custom tags.

    Hmm, how about instead of 555-1234 use: 555-1234 or 555-1234 555-5678 That way we can be future-proof. There you have it, fully stylable, customizable and semantic anonymous tags.

    Exactly, HTML is still boring with sections and navs, but Javascript and CSS3 make it a different beast worth taming.

    Javascript can do it all: function fac(x){ return x==0?1:x*fac(x-1); } a = fac(8); or a one-liner: a = (function fac(x){ return x==0?1:x*fac(x-1); })(8); Both ways spit 4320

    Taking a closer look at my macbook keyboard, of all the lisp forks, I'd go with squared brackets [lisp] for convenience. Ergonomics win.
