Who cares

[@christianhabermann6527]

70% of the internet cares, because it's built on PHP. 50%+ of the entire world's online eCommerce cares, as it runs on PHP-shops. Millions of businesses care, millions of developers care. Uncountable masses of people working in companies that rely on a PHP backend care. Every seconds millions of dollars are moved by lines written in PHP. The economical value of this language is outstanding. And all made by a tiny group of volunteers. Show some f'ing respect and ask yourself: what have you contributed?

[@pepegrillo9722]

You care so much that you had to let us know your opinion... why do you ask? Do you need a job?

[@777Omwana]

By commenting it shows you care!! PHP majority cares.

[@liftingisfun2350]

@@christianhabermann6527 just because systems rely on php I should care about an update to the language? Hah!
