I abandoned PHP in 2013 for Go.
Never looked back.
Sometimes I have to fix PHP code, I hate it every time.
I can't take PHP seriously.
When ever I see a project advertised that's written in PHP I never consider it. It's like spam mails.
Performance matters and PHP doesn't perform, not compared to Go.
That's one reason, the other was the absolute stupidity of the PHP crowd.
Their new dogma and wrong paradigms applied to the language.
Symfony is god awful, it's slow to develop with, performs awfully, dependency hell, overly complicated without reason.
I had to rewrite 3 sites, 1 is still left to do, in Go because there is no upgrade path to current versions. Major security issues. Do I have to run PHP7.3 with manual fixes and Symfony 2.3. I can't upgrade, I have to rewrite from scratch, and because of that I'm doing it with Go.
Worst decision ever to use Symfony.
And the arrogance of this Stof guy, stubborn but full of himself.
And his work had so many security issues.
The whole OO fetish back in 2013 with Java methodology with the sheep crowd killed PHP for me.
I actually loved the language for its simplicity, I came from C++ in 2001 and loved it.
In 2010-2013 it became a monster.
