Rasmus is a one trick pony who sees the entire universe of programming through the prism of application performance.

Is Guido a "one trick pony" too? That's pretty disparaging language for someone who came up with such a widely used programming language.

That language is not something I'm particularly enamored of, but Rasmus is a bright guy, who created something that thousands (tens, hundreds of thousands?) of people the world over use. That's not bad for "a one trick pony".

(BTW, would you call him that to his face?)

I'm not saying he's not bright and a bad guy, or that PHP sucks.

I've been reading stuff from him since '99 when I first started working with PHP. I've seen him talk. As far as I can tell, the only thing Rasmus ever really gets excited about is performance - he's been saying the same thing for years.
