Php runs on Windows, and is NOT restricted to web development. True, Linux and web is where it's most often used, but that's not the same as "tied to". I reject their classification.
JavaScript is mostly client-side programming because there are not many viable alternatives for the client of web stacks. Despite the node.js talk, JS is still not popular on the server side.
If something came along to replace or reduce programming on the client side, JS usage could shrink quickly.
Server-side languages are probably safer from UI fads and trends.
Relax, ranting about programming languages is how geeks blow off steam to keep us from doing sinister things like hacking Trump's barber to put afro-sauce into the formula.
I say get rid of nulls. They cause all kinds of problems and bloat up code. The few times you do "need" them can be handled other ways.
For example, check to make sure the data structure has values (elements) before running an "average" operation on it. If you don't check and there are no elements in it, then it should throw an error rather than produce a null.
Perhaps nulls are used in RDBMS because it's not easy to use conditionals or error handlers in queries to deal with an empty structure or no rows. Maybe have the Average function return two values (columns): one with the result value, and another column with a the count of elements averaged. If the count is zero, then the result value is invalid (not informative), but would be set to zero for consistency.
A potential problem with getting rid of nulls is that languages may have to support them for backward compatibility with existing stuff that produces nulls.
As for technical standards: You would have to be kidding. That requires Real genuine expense and effort,
Russia and China have a lot of smart people; more than USA even. And as MS shows, you don't need smarts to divert or muck up standards.
The rest of your arguments seem to assume careful reasoning by politicians before making forking choices. They are politicians: tech logic and rational resource allocation often means shit to them.
For example, Donald Trump, who is arguably on par with Hillary to win the election, wants to build an expensive wall which is relatively easy to breach with tunnels and ladders; when more border guards, drones, and business auditing would be cheaper and probably more effective.
One day all the parents of our child's soccer team got an email that appeared to be from her hawking some cheesy product. She had to send an apology, explaining her email account was breached.

Indeed. The "money" languages are Php, C-sharp, and Java, for good or bad.
I'm curious why the intro called Php "tied to a specific programming platform". I'd like clarification on that.
I'll try to find a better way to explain it, perhaps with some kind of pseudo-machine-language to show how the compiler/interpreter processes stuff.
The "local format" must be fucked up then.
Humans do stupid shit all the time.
As I ranted about in the Java 8 story re lambda hype, the problem is our common languages have a crappy OOP model with "stiff" method definitions.
myFile = file.open(myPath) method openError {display("oh shit!");stop();}
(A "method" keyword may not be needed; it's shown for clarity here.)
True, but irrelevant. The goal is to reduce total risk, not get the risk to 0%.
For one, don't have functions/operations that accept or return nulls.
And we can change the way we think about rows in a table. Instead of this:
{employee name="Martha" salary=70000 birthdate="null"}
Model it like this:
{employee name="Martha" salary=70000}

Indeed. Politifact should change their icon to a Galaxy 7.
Sorry about that; I forgot my makeup and to shave.
