I’m calling that out as a straw man. Who uses PHP to run gear / robots?
- nbzso 5y agoThis is an example of old technology (programming language) pronounced dead numerous times. I can give another example: COBOL. https://www.makeuseof.com/what-is-cobol/ https://www.makeuseof.com/what-is-cobol/ The idea behind this is that marketing and agenda driven "visions" often paint wrong picture towards an ideal future. And reality always finds a way to strike back.
- CodeWriter23 5y agoI code in PHP very frequently (thanks to Laravel), I’m not declaring it dead by any stretch of the imagination. I just don’t think it’s in daily use on the assembly line. It’s all PLC. And where you do see a Raspberry Pi on the floor, it’s Python, C/C++ or C# before it’s PHP.
