It's interesting that these kind of false premises come up often on HN. Don't get me wrong, I don't like PHP either, but nowadays. PHP is just as "modern" as many other languages in use. And with frameworks like Laravel and Symfony, it stacks up well against the likes of Ruby on Rails, Django or any NodeJS based stack.
And let's not forget that the majority of websites and webapps runs on PHP.
- yipyapyay 6y agoI think that’s totally fair. I have a personal project that I’m getting started on and I’m having trouble picking a stack to use. I hear a lot of conflicting opinions on here. I’ve looked through the documentation for newer frameworks like React and they seem really easy to get started with.
- garrepi 6y agoI'm in no place to recommend technologies to chose (I'm no expert) but the documentation argument is a good one. There are a lot of articles from the past few decades introducing different odds and ends with PHP. Additionally, PHPDocs are great but they're nothing in comparison to the tutorials and examples provided by things like ReactJS' or Vue's official docs.
