Is modern PHP really that bad? I kind of think it makes a lot of sense in a world where almost everything, even major government IT systems, are basically java/.net on the backend and some JavaScript MVVM framework on the client.
I know a guy who works with laravel, and we’ve teased him so much about PHP over the years, because PHP. The truth is, that his backend is actually more suited for the modern world than what we currently run. .Net core is getting to where it’s competitive, but it’s still a bitch to build something like a mixed asp mvc and Vue components app, which is truly effective/productive alternative to MVVM clients or jquery/Ajax for smaller projects.
- swah 7y agoThe thing I "envy" about PHP guys is that they aren't on proglang forums; they are somewhere happier making money and clients happy, and not giving a f* about the things our niche here does...
- ok_coo 7y agoI started doing PHP dev during the 5.2, 5.3 times and since 7, it feels much better to program in. It even has RoR-like frameworks like Laravel. So, use Symfony or Laravel if you need to use PHP. It has some historical baggage that some people can't get over. Nothing, no programming language will be perfect. If I had to start all over, I'd probably use something else but it works great for what I'm doing. (web dev with Laravel)
