I like PHP and javascript.
Jquery wasn't pretty but it did smooth over browser differences (as someone who had to target a blackberry browser, I still respect it.)
Vue/ React and company are pretty amazing. But sometimes I wonder if they're too much for a lot of the use cases they're used with. I find a fair number of sites that don't quite work.. that could have used a simple form. The "javascript form check" before submission seems to be quite frequent. Webpack is a pain frankly.
modern php is pretty amazing. Though the trend of getting on the upgrade hamster wheel and frameworks use of the latest/greatest makes it harder to like. When I run into a perl script at work, there is some relief that it will probably work, as perl just isn't changing (warts and all).

- bitexploder 2y agoThey definitely are too much. Htmx, for example, continues to increase in popularity precisely because so many full stack devs are playing with it and it seems to solve their problems.
- DoesntMatter22 2y agoI love Unpoly. It's a less verbose version of HTMX
- paulryanrogers 2y agoWell Perl 6 tried to change too much at once and now the language is pretty stagnant, for better and worse. PHP's own v6 was something of a disaster, but the demand for PHP remained strong enough to keep trying. Possibly because of WordPress. (IMO Perl also kind of died because of too many ways to do the same thing. In practice it meant every code base becomes bespoke.)
