PHP is here to stay and will have better documentation over time. PHP programmers will start writing awesome, meaningful and standard code as more and more languages and tools make it possible to compile code in a specific language into a PHP code. One example is the Haxe Programming Language. I jumped onto other programming languages, such as Python and SPA with JS, some time ago; but I am now investing more of my time in Haxe.
All that being said, I am also wary of the all-in-one kit and its imminent trouble. I have been seeking comments on it from the public here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9111742 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9111742
- asmicom 12y agoI can't agree more!
- drethemadrapper 12y agoThanks asmicom; I don't think I should be downvoted for expressing myself. That was my opinion. And I was also seeking comments from readers. @erikb: There is a school of thought those apps - FB, wordpress,etc - don't contain lines of code with best practices. I am however glad they are released on non-restrictive licenses and the general public are contributing to the various projects. All I can say is that PHP is here to stay. I have not written a whole app/project in PHP5 before but with PHP4. I however think kits/tools like Haxe AND apps like FB & WP will keep PHP in the market for a very long time.
- erikb 12y agoWhy "will start writing [...] meaningful [...] code"? They already did, right? Just two examples are Wordpress and Facebook. There are many impacts made by PHP tools. (Btw I'm one of the guys switching from PHP to Python, so this is not advertisment from a fan)
