Well at least ’transformData’ has a more meaningful name (and apparently is much shorter) than your average JS function... but yeah, been there done that you’ll survive

Eklavya17683yYou are writing fucking thing on PHP website only
Facebook, Yahoo, Wikipedia all are made using PHP7 -
@Eklavya That's not really true. Facebook uses a mix of Hack, HHVM, Haskell, Python, C++, Java, and Erlang.
And neither Mediawiki nor Yahoo has been significantly changed in the last decade.
A lot of hate against (especially modern) PHP is unfounded — but just like with JS and Python, the flexibility and low entry threshold do lead to some insane crap.
Regardless of whether Symfony or Laravel are great frameworks, if you look at their sourcecode, they're very well programmed. But if you look at a popular library like Guzzle, it's fucking unreadable trash under the hood.
So it highly depends on the maintainer & contributors. -

Idk at present whether they are using PHP7 or not -
@jak645 Rewrite as neat, framework-free PHP8 composer packages.
Or use a real language, like Rust 😁 -
PHP proof itself that id you are a good dev you can make beautiful things. For small to medium-big project because of its lake of multi threading
