PHP is still what I use for my personal projects. Sublime + SFTP plugin & any shared hosting (all also give at least 1 MySQL). Phpmyadmin I know with my eyes closed but can also default to a static db like SQLite. It is very fast for me to start, test & itterate. I've also tried Node but idk sometimes it can hugg memory and even crash, which just never happened with PHP. It is a little sad but I don't really care anymore because I am not doing client work anymore. Edit: just to add that I also never really could stand promises in async execution. Such a headache. Edit 2: also can you believe it that with Node, the script is also the server??? Who in their right mind thought this was a good idea? Like when the script crashed, it crashed the whole app for everyone.

Sounds like you've just used node incorrectly, like without any error handling or frameworks? Pure node has always been pretty bad until very recently, the ecosystem is a big part of what has made it popular.

PHP isn't bad at all. People are just hating because it's not the greatest language. People are making millions with PHP. The end user doesn't care and tbh the ecosystem is awesome

> also can you believe it that with Node, the script is also the server??? That is how most modern web systems operate. It's very rarely a problem, because decent error handling (built in to most frameworks) limits the scope of these sorts of issues to a single request. IIRC, all of the major Node.js HTTP frameworks will catch exceptions for you and respond with a generic 500; I'm not sure what sort of system you had where your errors were bubbling up further.
