They say PHP is dead, PHP sucks, PHP this, PHP that. I don't want to hear anymore. This dead man is doing wonders. 😠

I wish i was dead

@ganjaman a lot of us do man.

Welcome fellow dead man.

@Alice we can be dead together.

If I'm going to be haunted for the rest of my ghosterly life, I'd accept @noMad's services.

@NoMad in starting to regret that decision. But I'm committed!

@NoMad lol I took a political science class and it was hard to not get caught into the bait discussion boards.

I typed out "*proof what they said is wrong* but I'm getting the vibes that you're a retarded fuck anyways, so I know facts scare you."

Had to delete that and spend 10 minutes genuinely struggling to reply to the discussion board while remaining as neutral as possible.

Soo how you replace the PHP then?
Any other technology that widely use than PHP?

* I know I am just that stupid and low on knowledge asking this, but.... I can't help it *

@Alice Damn, you beat me to it.

PHP is good, don't listen to kiddies who haven't even used it.

@Ubbe same here. To me Python feels super flaky and I dislike the cognitive overhead of having whitespace as syntax. Not to mention the shitty env and lib management setup it requires.

Ruby with Sinatra is love.
PHP7 does look good and I know it has improved.

But, PHP was never planned so has a lot of inconsistencies in it, its creator says so.

I don like python too much either, but have to learn it for data shit, and R is shit.

I love ruby, i like everything in it, it id well thought, drivers for MySQL are good, mongo too, it id just very enjoyable to code with it.

People who dislike PHP will try and pretend it's a dead and hasn't improved one bit since PHP4. language in favor of their shiny 'modern' alternative.

I remember getting a recommended medium article titled something like '10 reasons why PHP sucks and Python is better'. The author stated some pretty idiotic things like PHP having no dependency manager nor modern frameworks. The author clearly lived in a world where pip wasn't garbage and composer didn't exist.

In reality, PHP is a very good language for its intended purpose and has plenty of modern frameworks that make it even better.

It's the same thing with the Rust hipsters parroting about how C was dead and everything should be rewritten in Rust.
