What languages/tech/whatever were you using at the time?

I think this is one of the reasons PHP stuck so well. It is incredibly satisfying to just modify a file on a server and see the results on your web page instantly, and with almost every other language that is really hard to replicate the way I have seen it done with PHP. It made experimenting so much more satisfying because you didn't have to learn all sorts of other things to start seeing your code do something.
