These PHP praises frankly sound like trolling. No other language can even come close? You must be kidding.
I mean I get it. It's obviously a counter-reaction to all the PHP hate that has been with every PHP thread for 2 decades, and much of it has been unfair, especially for the last 5 or so years. But please let's not swing the pendulum all the way to the other side.
- ollyculverhouse 7y agoSo given a web server, what language can 'come close' to the ease of deploying with PHP?
- mgbmtl 7y agoI'm a mostly PHP dev, but with apps in other languages, all you need more is a systemd unit file to start the app? (ruby, nodejs, go, etc)
- hombre_fatal 7y agoUnless your only experience is 1999 style FTP with shared hosting and you've never used anything else, I don't know how you can claim that `node server.js` or running your Cargo-built server.exe is somehow harder or more complicated. For example, PHP is complicated enough that people use WAMP/MAMP.exe just for local development.
- eyelidlessness 7y ago"Given a web server" seems a pretty big caveat. I'm not a big node cheerleader (even though I work in it day to day), but it doesn't need to be given a web server to achieve the rest of this claim.
