People have created secure systems in far worse languages, and people have written laughably insecure code any language you care to name.
The “problem” with PHP is its ease of use, allowing people who don’t know about good development practices to quickly write their first web application. But with discipline, PHP is a perfectly acceptable language.
- Akujin 9y agoAs someone who has been working with PHP since early 4.x I find the haters trying to grasp for straws quite amusing.
