I'm in the same boat! PHP is so insanely functional. There are a lot of powerful frameworks but I personally like to keep my projects very simple with minimal dependencies and nothing comes close in terms of how fast I can go from idea → prototype → production. PHP + SQLite is a beast.
- zelphirkalt 3y agoNit: Most code written in PHP is the (an) opposite, of what many people discussion programming languages would call "functional". It is procedural, and maybe object oriented, although important things are missing, like generics/parametric polymorphism.
- seszett 3y agoFunctional here means that it functions well. Not that it's a functional language.
- aaviator42 3y agoIn case it wasn't obvious from the context of the rest of my comment, I was using this dictionary definition of 'functional': > designed to be practical and useful, rather than attractive. It gets the job done. Really well.
- kyriakos 3y agoall he said is that he can get his work done. definition of "functional" is "designed to be practical and useful, rather than attractive"
- zelphirkalt 3y agoAnd all I said is, that most people understand something different under that term, when talking about programming languages ... But thanks everyone, for the dictionary definition lookup.
