That's actually surprisingly common.

Man, he's so professional. He gives answers that I'd expect a very experienced PR person to give, yet he's just a single-man operation developer.

Yeah, I read that before, but I didn't really understand what that meant.

I think people get way too caught up on technical optimisation issues with a language.

The reason a language, programming or otherwise, catches on is ultimately based on how many people use the language. So the lower the barrier to entry, they more people who will use it. PHP has a pretty low barrier to entry to creating a website (however simple/bad) and it has a lot of cultural momentum. I don't see PHP going away anytime soon.

Okay this federated stuff is really growing on me.

The idea that you can sign up on any server, and still have a feed from many different servers is pretty cool.

If history has taught me anything - I would say that means that kbin will persist forever.
