Yes, but which one?
No matter which one i try, in the end, i am always close to rewriting it with php.
Eg as many good things go has, i don't enjoy the syntax as much as phps. I could live with it, given the advantages. But i can't get over it, that most of my code seems to be error checking. Sure, that's probably a good thing for serious work. But that's just not where the joy in programming lies for me. Most cases phps try-catch feels much, much more elegant / fun to write (not comparing the efficiency of the outcome).
I do love the fact i end up with a single executable. And php without framework requires much more overhead, which is also annoying. And i am done with php frameworks.
- chuckadams 3y agoI'm afraid I burned it down to the ground, but the last attempt never got me much past reorganizing the headers and ripping out ifdefs for all non-posix systems (bye bye windows support). These days I'm interested in more green-field languages like unison, though I'm still trying to think of something to write in it (or any inspiring language, really).
- endofreach 3y agoInteresting. I haven't even heard about unison. Just skimmed the website and it looks interesting. Thanks for mentioning it!
