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.
