<rant>Okay, not directed at you, but... It was posted yesterday. Does this really have to be posted EVERY SINGLE DAY?
Every time anyone suggests improving anything, or make another product in a crowded space, this comic is posted. The author of this article doesn't even suggest a new platform - he suggests improving a platform that exists to enable easier deployment. It was posted yesterday for Chocolat... do we really have to stop making editors?
In a site targetted to hackers and startups it is disturbing that people are so unwilling to learn something new, support a new product, improve the world, do anything new. Yes, redundant standards suck sometimes, but it's not always the case.
I wish that the comic author would consider deleting this from the server, or maybe pg could ban it.</rant>
Nope. In this line he's talking about a web app he's writing and how he considered writing it in PHP to boost adoption. Here's it in context:
"I'm starting a new open source web project with the goal of making the code as freely and easily runnable to the world as possible. Despite the serious problems with PHP, I was forced to consider it."
