      PHP is old

      Same age as Ruby, Java and JavaScript, but younger than Python, C, and C++. 😛

        I’m guessing they meant “old” as in “no one uses it anymore, it’s dead”

          Don’t tell my bosses that. Or the PHP community as a whole for that matter. Then I might have to get a real job.

      Actual definitions (my opinion):

      • HTML is website
      • CSS is style
      • JS is everywhere
      • SQL is data
      • Python is simple
      • PHP is backend
      • Markdown is README
      • YAML is config
