  • A Replacement for PHP

    I asked Quora for ideas for how a replacement PHP might look. On the whole people are not enthusiastic. Alexander Tchitchigin had an interesting answer, but which focused on the basic theme of “once we move away from PHP’s weaknesses, we might as well use any language.

In 2020 we won’t be programming the web with an advanced Python framework (wonderful as python is). We’ll have something which does what PHP did for…

  • Kira is a language which compiles to PHP

  • Loads of nice stuff going on in Squeakland. Showing Seaside demos to a colleague this week made me wonder whether I need to dive back in.
