Great minds discuss the product, small minds belittle the language it was written in.

It is fair to discuss the language of an open source project in a technical leaning forum.

Yeah, but this discussion was not very fruitful. Just language-bashing.

I agree. PHP isn't as sexy as node.js or rails. Though the project is using PHP 5.5.9, composer and the Laravel framework. It seems like author is making an effort to make good PHP code. The only thing he could have done to make the code base cooler for PHP was to use HHVM.

I'm not sure this is a saying

I use subsonic and like it a lot. However, it could use a webinterface update.

The default is old and ugly, but works very well. Jamstash (another web interface) looks nice but doesn't work well.

It uses Java, a pile of (insert swear word) so high that nothing comes close.

Have you actually even looked at the source code for this project before you jumped in with the snark of it being written in PHP?
