The technical story of Muxtape

tlvx:

Originally Muxtape was written in PHP, about a year ago. PHP is a fantastic language for gradually turning static pages into functional ones in an ad hoc way. However, PHP as a language is a clusterfuck of bad design decisions because it lacks a clear vision. With the new Muxtape we have an amazingly expansive (and yet minimally focused) vision and needed a better foundation to make that happen.

Very interesting story of a transformation that I hope to follow some day soon from Luke Crawford, one of the developers of the new Muxtape. Using PHP as I’m starting to work on more robust and app-like sites is starting to be a miserable experience.
