Who said I restricted myself ? Is a python (or whatever suit your boat) developer restricting himself to python ? I said of myself that I am a php developer because I actively use it on a weekly basis and it helps me make a fair amount of money on the side while others argue about which is worse between php and the devil. I also use quite a few other languages, mainly at my job.
> Why not just be a "developer" who uses the right tool for the job?
That's exactly what I do, and there are a few cases where php is the right tool. When someone tries to use php in other situations and complains that it sucks at it, it just shows how poorly he chose his tool.
> And your feeling won't get hurt when people point out how horrible php is
Where have you read anything like that ? My feeling aren't hurt at all, I'm just saying his remark is stupid, plain and simple. File uploading in php is no more (or no less) of a threat than in other languages, you just have to know what you are doing, that's what I posted about, not some "php is horrible" that you imagined reading.
> When you learn other languages, you will find out that you have to know something well to truly hate it properly.
That is exactly my point that you missed, given his remark on file uploading (the only thing he mentioned and that I commented on), he doesn't know php well. Thus he should abstain from trying to take a shot at it in a product description page, especially since - given php popularity - a lot of his potential users are using it.
