I use PHP for my freelance work mainly because I have no option on hosting. I never got the appeal for PHP (besides being cheap to host). All my personal projects are either done in Python or Node + (Angular, react & now Vue)
Python: PURE elegance
Node: io breeze
PHP: ?
Q: is the "module" system still achieved by dumping file content or is there a linking system?
- profmonocle 11y agoJust curious, why do you have no option on hosting? I got into PHP many years ago for this exact reason - it was the easiest language to use on low-cost shared hosting. But these days you can get a decent VPS (where you have root and can use any language) for $10-$15 a month, which is exactly what I used to consider "low-cost hosting".
- timmy_ 11y agoI live in Africa & $10 * 12 = $120/year is way too expensive --- when I say cheap, I'm talking about $3/month (shared, 20GB bandwidth, 1GB storage, MySQL / PgSql) Hostgator, Godaddy...
- profmonocle 11y agoWow! I wasn't aware shared hosting prices had gone down so much as well, but I guess they couldn't compete with VPS services otherwise.
