It's odd the author chose Django because it's "popular" and dismissed PHP because it's "old".
Laravel is far newer and more popular than Django and PHP is both newer and more popular for web dev than Python.
Why would the author insinuate Laravel (and presumably WP and the rest of PHP) will be dead by 2030? For that matter, is it pragmatic for a startup to worry at all about what the best choice ten years in the future will be?

- AlchemistCamp 7y agoAh, ok. That's slightly less strange, but still very strange given the productivity and ecosystem size of Laravel vs that of Django.
