Lee Bryon had a fantastic talk about this during the last React Conf, check it out [1]. He talks about the cyclic nature of programming paradigms, and how we might actually be "going back to PHP" and that might not necessarily be a bad thing.
PHP does after all have a straightforward mental model and expressive syntax, but now we have learned to build better (more secure, more resilient, performant, better architected, etc) web apps. IMO very worth a watch.

- bhhaskin 7y agoI would argue that we have never left PHP. WordPress powers 34% of the web. It's fast and flexible, and modern PHP is actually a delight to work in. It's also pretty secure. You have to go out of your way to make it insecure. Which is an issue with any programming language.
