C and Unix hindered a whole lot. It was the PHP of its day.

Nice analogy. Although it's very unlikely that PHP will ever be as highly regarded as are C and Unix today.

I wanted to say that C is not really very highly regarded nowadays, but that only adds extra php-directed snark to your post, which is not wholly a bad thing.

Have you used modern PHP? Its a great language these days.

I am struggling to understand your analogy here?
