An Internet of PHP

"The ability to interleave code and HTML was also tacky and never taken seriously" - That was the whole point of it! The day I found PHP and could leave behind the cgi-bin and SSI it became my favourite thing - and has paid me well for the last 20+ years :)

Putting HTML inside of scripted code blocks was legendary back in the day and every web-oriented language did it. I guess people have already forgotten about ASP and ColdFusion. Being able to for each an array into table rows? Game changing.

I have been coding in coldfusion (openbluedragon) on 2012. Still lurks in my dreams. I refactored to components (objects) some functionalities as a POC, it did not fit well with the main programmer.
