No, you got it all wrong.
It's not "dependency hell", it's "server-side programming".
Oh, how can I say. First, please recognize the context. If
we distribute wikipedia server to hunders of mimi-server, it
is necessary to make easy to set up. But if we don't, the
dependency really doesn't matter the
We're supposed to use whatever we find convenient
on server-
side.
That's the paradigm on this side of network
connection.
Gentelly notice the debate should be based on the reasoning
not simple assumptions.
These dependencies aren't really that weird -
Apache, PHP
and MySQL
I don't think these dependencies are weired neither.
As for windows servers, it doesn't really matter.
They are rather small minority, and have so many problems
that supporting them is not really worth effort.
Just get some Unix.
Again, if you distribute, the number of windows servers does
matter. But again the context depends.
