It's almost 2019 and it's pretty amazing that no other language among the dozens available for web development feature easy server-side deployment.
It's frustrating and baffling for anyone who wants to provide users with an easy way to self-install or self-host.
Easy server deployment of apps simply doesn't exist (unless you're Wordpress with one-click installs available everywhere). Many developers consider easy deployment a non-issue.
Here's a previous question I asked on the topic:

- evilduck 8y agoThere are other languages that can behave like this, Ruby ERB templates are one that can be done the same way. You can't just drag and drop PHP without some initial server side configuration either. The reason it's nearly 2019 and no other language does this is because it's a really terrible way to manage software deployment.

I’m not a fan of PHP (the platform), but that sure sounds more like an opinion than an objective truth. Could you outline some objective reasons why simply copying the code you want to run to the server you want to run it on is a bad deployment model?
