- password4321 4y agoIf all you're worried about is Core: https://apps.peachpie.io/Item?id=PeachPied.WordPress.AspNetCore https://apps.peachpie.io/Item?id=PeachPied.WordPress.AspNetC... > All of WordPress as a .NET Standard assembly, without PHP. Mentions both performance and security benefits.
- sibit 4y agoSome of us like PHP. I'd even go so far to say there are dozens of us... DOZENS!

- michaelbrave 4y agoI've not played with it yet but I've heard good things about the newest version of PHP, could anyone confirm?
- dgb23 4y agoThere is a bunch of relatively new stuff in place that really help: Enums, match, readonly (classes), attributes for metadata, union types in function signatures (very useful), improved destructuring. Also some issues with traits and interfaces have been resolved since a while. Those kind of changes are good for PHP, because they give you more tools to write compact, simple code that plays nicely with some of the legacy builtins/libraries and so on. It's remarkable how much it has been improving. However, it's still a clunky language, because almost every feature has its weird caveats and limits that a more modern, well designed language just doesn't have.
- mkranjec 4y agoCare to point out what bothers you in the latest versions of PHP?
- cultofmetatron 4y agonot a fan of php either but I wouldn't go that far. I'd love to see it reimplemented with modern conventions over Laravel. As much as i dislike php in general, I have to admit the laravel guys have done some amazing stuff.
- knob 4y agoAbsolutely love Laravel!!
