PHP is addictive. You can create whole web app in one PHP file from scratch and it will have everything including API and DB management layer and be secure and fully functioning. And it will work on all servers and on all operating systems. Millions are made by average developers developing themes and plugins for wordpress. Hard to beat all that. #drama is for queens :)

Common Lisp is addictive. You can create a whole web app in one CL file from scratch and it will have everything including API and DB management layer and be secure and fully functioning. And it will work on all servers and on all operating systems. Also hard to beat that.

As someone who's had to deploy PHP apps to various servers on various operating systems, I can guarantee you that your third line is absolutely not the case. You can deploy much code to many servers on some operating systems, but it's far from universal.
It's only universally deployable if the developers knew what they were doing. The same can be said of any language, it just happens that PHP makes it a bit easier than the others.
Any large community has these problems. This is the advantage to using forum engines that allow non-anonymous upvotes/downvotes over a naive mail-list - people can silently agree and separate the wheat from the chaff, and consensus becomes far more visible. You can even give the important contributors greater "weight" to the ups/downs (this is not a democracy, contributors are worth more).
Your contributions and voice will be missed.

Facebook is entirely written in PHP. It uses all sorts of databases and other systems to handle stuff, but so does every other website. It's still written in PHP. Facebook has their own PHP fork, which they use/and modify. I do not believe that Facebook pushes their modifications to PHP as a whole.
Those "databases and other systems" make up a significant portion of their code base, and in many cases Facebook either contributes to their development or created them internally. To claim that Facebook is written entirely in PHP is false. Examples: - Cassandra (Java) was created by Facebook http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Cassandra - Giraph (Java) has significant contributions from Facebook and I believe was fo…

ircmaxwell has contributed a hell of a lot to PHP recently, this is not some worthless shmuck complaining, this is someone that can and does provide significant value to the community.
Who said he was a "worthless schmuck"? Geniuses can have temper-tantrums, too. Just because he has made worthy contributions doesn't mean that he isn't acting like a drama queen.
You've implied that what he's in charge of right now are "toys". Does that qualify?
