1. You have to be kidding, right? PHP's popularity is precisely because of this.
2. getcomposer.org
4. json_decode/json_encode have been a part of PHP since PHP 5.2 (2006)
5. That's not a benefit.
- bpicolo 13y agoNo, it's popularity is because it was the simplest a long time ago, and it's supported on lots of virtual boxes by default. Composer is terrible compared to NPM.
- dubcanada 13y agoSays you :) And so is PHP. You cannot argue that PHP is not simple, you just can't. And frankly I like composer, sure it doesn't do C/C++ installation stuff, but PHP doesn't need that. What is does is almost identical to NPM, the only different is one looks different, and the names.
- debaserab2 13y ago..and how do you think it got on all of those boxes? That's a chicken/egg argument. Composer accomplishes the goals of being a "modern package manager that works on all platforms".
