computers suck 

Just get out there and write node.php so we can get this race to the bottom over more quickly - we want the most unreliable, least debuggable and least powerful possible toolset on which to build the future

our generation are the techboomers! fuck our children as hard as possible!

@Fuego I mean a little yeah

I've been a professional PHP dev for 11 years now and I've learned a few things about programming from this perspective:

• PHP is the worst language for generating dynamic web content server-side still in heavy use (for so many reasons)
• JS is in almost all cases a worse language than PHP, but its sins are offset by its usefulness in running client-side, thus getting processing load off your server
• node.js must have been a practical joke that got out of control

@mawr @Fuego node.js makes me physically uncomfortable, like most practical jokes. So this checks out.
