Whenever I read HN talking about PHP I am reminded of the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect. The level of discussion on the topic is abysmal, compared to (I guess perceived?) the discussion on other topics. It's interesting how clearly 80% of t

The comparison would be towards other languages in its class: Python, Ruby, Javascript. Besides the shared nothing architecture mentioned by sibling: - A more mature community and ecosystem for open source packages e.g. basics like followin

To be clear the government change in Moldova is more like an internal reorg of the current ruling party. The new government continues the same agenda as the previous one, and only a few members have changed. Describing it as a "collap
