I'm not all out against PHP. I've used, and still do, on occasion for simple things and prototyping.
That said, I'll never go out of my way to use it for much else—let alone serving and routing something public-facing ever again.
- KerryJones 8y agoCheckout Laravel, it powers some Fortune 100 sites -- it's definitely "large-site" capable.
- lwansbrough 8y agoLaravel performance is abysmal, though. You're gonna spend 10x on server costs if you use a fully featured framework in PHP.
- mtarnovan 8y agoNot a fan of PHP, but people argued convincingly that server costs are very low compared to developers.
- chiefalchemist 8y agoI did one project in Laravel. I was impressed. That said, it takes WP to the opposite extreme. That is, it is has little regard for backwards comparability. Finding answers / examples via The Google is messy and frustrating, at least for someone who was new to Laravel. I like that it's forward-thinking, but it moves so fast that it has negative impact on user (i.e., dev) experience.
