The same can be said for JavaScript. Even worse can be said of JavaScript, a PHP developer will have to learn JavaScript for any client side behaviour, whereas the entire JavaScript community has rebuilt large code bases to not have to learn anything else.
- TrickyRick 9y agoNot true, I started off with Java, learned Objective-C, then PHP and finally JS (And by JS I mean Node) and today I still settle on Node for all my hobby project simply because it's so easy to get something up and running. However I wouldn't use it for a larger-scale project with a big team - but I wouldn't use PHP for that either. ;)
- AmericanChopper 9y agoNode is pretty much the new PHP. JS is pretty easy to pick up, a lot of people know it, and then node was invented so that people could just write their whole stack in it. Apart from ‘I already know it’, most people would be hard pressed to come up with a reason why node was the best choice for their project. You can say the same about PHP, except... PHP is infinitely more fucked and nonsensical than JS. There’s no project where PHP is the best choice, or even a realistically defensible choice. It is also an enduring blight upon the internet. PHP apps are riddled with bugs and vulnerabilities.
