"More or less everything is built with an MVC-or-equivalent level of abstraction, and there are good frameworks to help us work sanely and cleanly. It’s a pity some people still build important apps in PHP and Spring, but those aren’t choices anyone is forcing them to make."
Lost me right there. PHP in 2014 has some awesome frameworks and a huge open source community, never enjoyed working with it more than today.
- codygman 13y agoI'll conceded that PHP in 2014 has some awesome frameworks but argue it doesn't matter because PHP was designed (very) badly from the beginning. BTW, PHP was my first language ;)
- kayoone 13y agoEvery languages has its strenghts and weaknesses. I worked a lot with C# lately and love it, but i still enjoy modern PHP and Javascript.
- codygman 13y agoC# is well designed and I will admit that despite it still being more Microsoft specific (mono is getting there). We are stuck with Javascript, but can use it from better languages such as ClojureScript and Haskell via Fay. I do need to give PHP a deeper look again, because it has changed quite a bit. If I were to hazard a guess though, there are still inconsistencies that will inspire too much paranoia for me to use it in production.
