The elitists who constantly hound on PHP's deficiencies as if developers haven't heard about them for the last 20 years are the same types of people who build a fancy side project that never sees the light of day because it's massively over-engineered in some obscure flavor-of-the-month language.
Your customers don't care what's under the hood beyond your ability to provide value to them. If PHP lets you ship faster and get your product in the hands of consumers, it's a good language.
- arp242 6y agoThat a lot of the issues that were "not a problem" in the 5.x days are now addressed in PHP 7 and 8 is evidence that the technical criticism was valid and hardly "elitist". There are many successful projects in many different languages. You're using one of them right now. That claim only PHP devs care about shipping useful products is extremely silly.
