"PHP is fine, it's just poor developers making bad sites".
And then people stopped using PHP.
- arcturus17 6y agoPeople stopped using PHP in which planet?
- freehunter 6y agoExactly.
- osrec 6y ago> And then people stopped using PHP. Evidence? In my experience, PHP seems to be more in use now than ever.
- freehunter 6y agoA quick HN search shows PHP’s unpopularity. Check the Stack Overflow survey if you need a second opinion. Conversely, I’m gonna need evidence that PHP is more popular than ever because that absolutely is an extraordinary claim.
- ehutch79 6y agoPHP wasn't good, fine maybe, though I understand it's better now. it was kind of slow, and all the functions were inconsistent, and had a lot of foot-guns. It was easier to write more robust code and model-view-controller code in other languages. (not that it was impossible in php)
- freehunter 6y agoIt’s hard to make the claim that PHP is a bad language and also claim that very similar complaints don’t also apply to Javascript. They’re both languages defined by their popularity in spite of how poor the language actually is.
- ehutch79 6y agojavascript is a dumpster fire. unfortunately it's the only actually viable language in the browser.
