I started my company, ArkServers.io[1], in late 2016 and built mostly in PHP. I'm familiar with Python and Ruby, and have done projects in both, but still strongly prefer PHP.
I'm not sure what the standard for "good software" is, but I hope what I'm building is not too far from it! =)

- smt88 8y agoI also prefer PHP over Python and Ruby, especially because it's a lot easier to find PHP devs. I have written mostly-maintainable, very stable PHP apps. It took a huge number of tests, static analysis, comments, phpDocs, and trial/error of different libraries. Since then, I've written back ends in C#, TypeScript, Go, and Rust. I have mixed feelings about all of those, but I'd never need as many tests. The languages allowed me to be stricter than PHP did/does. Type systems are also an amazing form of self-documentation.
