PHP fell foul of adopting other languages' features to try and make itself more popular though (OOP, typing, err... I don't know PHP anymore), Go is actively resistant to it. Or, resistant as in, "sell it to us" where it's a really hard sell to add something to the language that can already be done in a different way. The error handling debate from a few years ago was great, a few really well thought-out proposals were made but in the end, people were like "...this is not an improvement over how we do it right now".
- aeyes 2y agoYou don't have to use all these new fancy PHP features as long as you don't use any third party libraries. I still write PHP just like I did in 2002 and it works. It's not as pedantic as Python which makes it pretty useful for small data manipulation tasks which I have to do every now and then.
