Most imageboards seem to be written using PHP and sometimes Lua. Why is that? Where is Java, Python, C, Lisp, etc.?
PHP? I thought that was Perl.
Java
Why not?
Python
Slow and an abomination.
Lisp
4taba.net software is written in guile. also, there is nmebious.
There was a textboard written in mit scheme, I have it in my bookmarks somewhere let me see if I can find it
What's the point of making new imageboards when they only attract the same garbage userbase anyway?
one mans garbage is another mans legion

Why not Tcl?
The official client for such an imageboard could be written using Tk.
That would be way better than the blatant Emacs favoritism shown by SchemeBBS with its official Emacs client (sbbs.el).
WHY NOT PERL?!
I see people complain a lot about vichan and its forks, if there was a well-working compatible implementation in Scheme it would convince many people to learn the language.

False.

Yeah, many people use PHP in web domain as a replacement for Perl CGI. So it's obvious that Kareha/Wakaba were kind of rewritten in PHP.
My other question is why image- and textboard software is so non-innovative. I can assume it's because engines for chans are usually written by amateur and when/if they become pros, they usually don't do opensource anymore.
For example, I want to rewrite Kareha (mode_message) in some language, which is better compatible with UTF8, also make it run under FastCGI instead of CGI. Still haven't chosen the language, because PHP is too ugly, Java is too enterprise and OOP, Ruby is too OOP, Python is too mainstream and I don't like indentation-only, bla-bla-bla.
But I wanted to say, that I don't want to innovate, just stick to the same minimalist, but time-proven principles that introduces Kareha. Of course, I like web minimalist, however, probably partially it's because I am a web dev amateur and it simply would be overhead for me to develop an enterprise-grade web app. Maybe, I would be more innovative, if I had expertise in web dev details how to make an app minimalist, but still innovative, modern, user-friendly.
Dietchan is written in C

are you stupid?
what is next, new ways to "munch" food? new ways to take a shit?
there is no room for new ways
a bbs will be the same shit as ever
because, well, it is a bbs, moron

4taba is a dumpster fire, we should team up to fix it and make it the industry standard imageboard software and a stable base to try innovative features on.
But I have a new way to take shit — I shit on your face.
>>16
I disagree.
try innovative features on
This smells of JavaScript bloat ...
Do it with Assembly, C or Lisp, I don't mind. Just stop hiding lack of your programming skill behind "minimalist" cover.
>>19
look, look what i can do, look: a div
only cost me three thousand lines of code
so much innovation
look, look, I am so minimalist that I just write "Hello world"
with Scheme and that's it, because I don't need anything else,
it's minimalism, you know, this program is enough for my minimalist needs,
if you use a program bigger than my hello-world program, it's bloat and garbage

Use Python or Kotlin. Whatever you think about the indentation, Python is pretty well designed, or at least much better than Ruby, and it can run decently fast with a JIT. Kotlin is like Java but with far less enterprise bloat.
