Rasmus on FLOSS Weekly with Chris DiBona and Leo Laporte

Our favorite BDFL talks about PHP on the most recent issue of FLOSS Weekly. Nice easy-going discussion about the genesis of PHP as well as other related technologies.

A couple of interesting tidbits:

  • PHP/FI was a joke on TCP/IP
  • Rasmus doesn’t like PHP as an acronym, “PHP is just PHP”. They joke about People Hate Perl and Pretty Handy Preprocessor
  • The “First version of PHP was in PERL” is incorrect, the idea was explored but quickly dumped.
  • We should see a preview release of PHP6 this year
  • Two cool apps rasmus likes are Moodle and Sahana
  • Rasmus: If all the applications were written by CS majors it would be a boring web. Education Majors should write Education management systems, PHP lets them do that.
  • Leo owes Rasmus a carwash.

During the show Leo decides to upgrade twit.tv to PHP5… drupal based site has no trouble running.

    “And he mentions he’s using Serendipity - in the last quarter of the podcast. He doesn’t actually mention much about the software, but of course highlighting all the strengths would’ve taken up another hour of the podcast…. ;-)”
