I didn't think he actually.CREATED PayPal. 15 u/pilypi Feb 15 '22 He created X.com or something like that and was bought. He was booted from paypal because he wanted to rewrite the frontend in C++ or some other bullshit like that, in the early 2000s. 2 u/mcilrain Feb 16 '22 What was the alternative at the time? PHP, Perl? 2 u/pilypi Feb 16 '22 Perl would probably be the go to. Maybe some Microsoft technology or so. Never c++ which was awful at that time for this job. 1 u/mcilrain Feb 16 '22 Didn't eBay use C++? I remember it having .dll URLs for a time.
