That's what I thought but I wasn't sure what you meant. Just fyi, you can say that about any Turing complete language so I guess I don't understand what your point is.

Describe "freedom" in the context of your statement.

I agree with your sentiment; the only language that doesn't suck is one you haven't written anything meaningful in -- and I've written a LOT of php.
I do think it's worse than most, with more defects/regressions per release than any other major platform and a really unsound underlying architecture built by a guy who literally hates computer science.

Did you even click the link? PHP is objectively a bad language and a bad platform with a toxic ecosystem.

You're fucking kidding right?

Bullshit. PHP's standard library is a piece of shit that certainly promotes bad coding practices. Case in point: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.implode.php

And I quote:

implode() can, for historical reasons, accept its parameters in either order. For consistency with explode(), however, it may be less confusing to use the documented order of arguments.

You don't say. I have written either assembly or machine code for at least 6 different architectures. It takes a LOT of work to really fuck something up in asm. Of course it takes a lot of work to do much of anything in asm, period. What I'm talking about is expressive power. In one line of Lisp, you could be dealing with so many abstractions, macros, etc. that it's easy to accidentally create intractable computations and not even realize it.

Nah. At the level of abstraction you're operating at w/ asm you're not going to do too much damage if you cock up. With something like Lisp or Haskell, where you're composing compositions of abstractions of lazy sequences of whatever else... it gets easy to fuck a lot of stuff up really quickly.

So good luck figuring out what the real secret to success is.

Upbringing, networking, persistence, work and a hefty dose of luck.

Hahaha was that CompUSA Skokie #177? That sounds really, really familiar. Or maybe it was just an epidemic cause that exact situation played out there too.

Digital can also refer to the fact that you have 10 digits (fingers).

Remember that libraries are not free, in fact you subsidize them with your property taxes (in the US, idk about other countries). Libraries are awesome, but they are not "free".

DGC : Prolog :: Monad : Haskell

Wow, I'm just a regular guy who rides the train and I've used both, and VZW's 4G LTE is objectively better. Also, you should probably get your asperger's under control, it's not normal to lash out with near-zero information like that.
