Testing Backbone.js with mocha
- PHP is still the best at generating web pages. What?!
- PHP offers all the tools needed to build strong applications (PHPUnit, xDebug, XHProf, ...) Testing - PHP is probably the worst language I've ever written tests in, it is horrible compared to Ruby, Java, Node, Objective-C, C#. Other languages provider far better testing tools and debuggers. xDebug is horrible to setup compared to other languages where the debugger just works.
- PHP is not as bad as people like to say. I agree with this point for sure, PHP 5.3 copes with most normal object oriented stuff, but so do all the other good languages for writing web applications, only the other languages have fantastic implementations, not "not as bad as people think" implementations. If this is one of your main points in recommending a language, that is shameful.
