Why exactly? Why shouldn't you use PHP in 2014?
- SapphireSun 12y agoAs an author of a PHP app, it's because there are better languages with better defaults out there. I don't understand why you would use a language with clunky libraries and hacked modules when you could use python, ruby, or node (amongst other great choices). Why would you choose something kinda grimy when you don't have to?
- ashleyw 12y agoBecause there are nicer, faster and more sturdy languages available. Ruby, Python, Go, and JavaScript, to name a few. The age-old "PHP is so easy to deploy!!1" rhetoric doesn't really hold true anymore when it basically refers to shitty, oversold shared hosting. PaaS offerings like Heroku make virtually ANY language stupidly simple and cheap to deploy these days.
