- arbuge 11y agoPHP, on the other hand, seems to have been in a decline which has finally levelled out. https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=nodejs%2C%20php&cmpt=q&tz= https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=nodejs%2C%20php&cmpt... Note that this is on the same scale as node, which is no longer visible hugging the x-axis...
- joeyspn 11y agoWell, not really a fair comparison... Javascript is also going down... https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=php%2C%20javascript&cmpt=q&tz= https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=php%2C%20javascript&... But like node, laravel is also on fire... https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=nodejs%2C%20laravel https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=nodejs%2C%20laravel
- bryanlarsen 11y agoBut is that a lagging indicator? Peak manpower for a successful project comes well after a project starts. Node.js was hip a couple of years ago, and lots of projects got started using it, so it wouldn't be surprising if lots of people are being exposed to Node because they've been added to these projects. In the HN echo chamber, hip projects have moved on to Go micro-services. Outside the HN echo chamber, Rails is still hip.
- z1mm32m4n 11y agoWow, I did not realize the difference in search volume of PHP vs nodejs.
- babby 11y agoThing is that node can be searched by "node" "nodejs" "node.js" thus the results will always be skewed by a single term like "PHP". When you think about it, PHP is not as high as you would expect in comparison.
