There is an unacknowledged war that goes on
every day in the world of programming. It is a
war between the humans and the computer
scientists. It is a war between those who want
simple, sloppy, flexible, human ways to write
code and those who want clean, crisp, clear,
correct ways to write code. It is the war between
PHP and C/Java.
