I do hate it when web developers claim to be software devs 😉

The day that I cannot achieve the desired result in PHP that you can do in C++, I'll stop calling myself a software developer.

Key word being result.

Might not do it the exact same method, but the result will be the same.

There are other types of systems/applications that PHP is worthless on. either not supported or unable to accomplish what is needed. If not supported, then it would because, it has been determined to be to weak or impractical.
Embedded & realtime are two examples.

real life example of a web application inside of an embedded system....

a router.

Except that your php isn't running the embedded device...

A bit of topic, but...

Additionally, how does one write digital imaging algorithms in PHP? How does one interface with hardware in PHP? How long would a discrete wavelet transform take on a 5 megapixel image in PHP? Is that even possible to do?

^^ I'm seriously asking these questions as I really don't know the answers. I'm not a web developer. I do know that every day things, such as the operation of a digital camera, needs a lot of what PHP does not offer. To say that PHP can provide the same results as C/C++ is inaccurate, in my opinion.

I agree. Different tools for different jobs 🙂

You're kidding, right?

The only thing that PHP does in that example is provide a wrapper/interface to call the low-level code. It does not do any "heavy lifting".

Point taken.

PHP can do many things that C/C++ can, but they each have their respected uses.
