Aren't we living in a digital age where everyone can go online and every piece of data can be online?
For small applications we still have to carry around some storage system. Like memory sticks in digital cameras. But software can be bought online and there's no need in shipping a CD anymore. And we will sure get rid of the memory sticks in the cameras, too. Maybe as soon as UMTS gets widely available, maybe later.
Some languages do things better than other languages and PHP does dynamic page generation better... but that is it.
Funny thing is, that PHP programmers use PHP and templates instead of the "dynamic page generation" feature. So there's really no need for using an inferior tool for the task.
Just for the record, I myself am a PHP programmer who learned OOP through PHP and then learned Java as a result. And so now I am for using the right tool for the right job and not one tool for all jobs... but I'm not switching all of my code to java just because I know OOP now; there are some things PHP does better and there are a whole lot of things that Java does better and I use each to my best advantage.
But PHP programmers nowadays dig OOP and templates to seperate code from design. There's no reason to continue to use PHP except that they are afraid of something "new".
Language bigots always think they're language is perfect.
But it's a good idea to try to reach a certain level of perfection. If languages are so bad you need design patterns, why not listen to the users of languages without that flaw?
So, unless you've whitelisted the exploit site (which generally would mean it's a site you trusted enough to install an XPI from), or the Mozilla website has been compromised, the exploit won't work.
What? Then what's all the fuss about? This isn't an exploit then.
See What's with All the Parentheses? and the conclusion In other words, the people who have actually used Lisp over the past 45 years have liked the syntax and have found that it makes the language more powerful.
I'd like to see all browsers that support CSS2.1 having a combined market share of at least 90 %.
Making websites is a real PITA if you have to please users with inferior browsers like IE.
I know that most of the IE bugs are documented and you could work around some of them, but it's really work. It's easier to just read the standard and test with standard compliant software.
Well, mod_lisp was a good reason to stay with Apache1. But there was some work done on the Apache2 version of the module, so it should be all clear to upgrade to Apache2, if you need it for more than just serving to your lisp image.

By the way: If you don't want unreadable Perl code, then don't write unreadable Perl.

You don't need a special web scripting language to do web programming. That's the mode of thinking that brought us PHP. :-(

So you know Country and Western? :-)

And what difficulty do you mean? Too much choice?

Yes. Norvig mentions Dylan, too.
I wonder why so many PHP programmers are so crazy about object oriented programming and are still using PHP.
Show me the standards for Ruby or Python.

Apress made a really nice book you can put into the better part of your bookshelf.
See What's with All the Parentheses? and the conclusion In other words, the people who have actually used Lisp over the past 45 years have liked the syntax and have found that it makes the language more powerful.
By the way: CLISP is just one implementation of Common Lisp. A common abbreviation for Common Lisp is CL.

Not every sf fan is a fan of sci-fi shows.
Or maybe you just use the newsserver of your ISP. Some people have forgotten that there are still ISPs who care about Usenet.
Than please use neither of them!

Why do people always point out that there are some IE only sites left? I can't remember seeing one lately.
I can't remember having any problems with this kind of software. Just don't install it.
