Between PHP 7 and HHVM, and what appears to me to be an increasingly fragmented community, I decided to jump ship to Ruby on Rails as my development platform of choice for web apps.
This is not to say that PHP won't work fine for many people; I just don't care for the (several) directions PHP is going in.
- jtreminio 12y agoNot sure what you mean. I have not detected any fragmentation. In fact, HHVM's speed of development has been a much needed kick in the pants to PHP.
- bovermyer 12y agoThe introduction of a language specification by Facebook is great. The fact that it took over a decade for a language specification to appear is less so. PHP-NG/PHP 7's troubled birth, and its contention with HHVM, does not bode well for PHP's future. I feel like it's going the route of Perl 5/6;Python 2/3.
