Yes, I agree. But if you want to do some form of dynamic rendering and not static rendering HTML only is not an option. PHP matches HTML pretty well.

Okay, forward compatible. It makes it easier for framework and library maintainers to support multiple versions of PHP, which is nice. > `#[foo` used to be legal PHP 7, but is illegal in PHP 8). So it is not a comment in PHP8 then.

This is one of the reasons I like PHP, in newer PHP versions it is an attribute but in older versions it is just a comment. Clever and backwards compatible.

Because there is a lot of negative propaganda against PHP out there, especially within academia. You can meet people fresh out of university telling you that PHP is bad even though they have never written a line of PHP. They just know. This

Laravel focus a lot on branding & communication to create a hype by overselling their functionality, you are a "Web artisan" when using it, the ORM is not like other ORMs, it is an Eloquent ORM etc.

Sure, but it does exist frameworks that uses minimal amount of magic. It is the magic part that is the problem, regardless if it is the framework or your own code that it is doing it.

Very common for older PHP projects to store PHP serialized strings in the database. Horrible performance and of course gets easily corrupted of not handling concurrent updates properly. Rewrites rarely succeeds, it is a typical fallacy for

You are comparing apples with oranges. I'm talking about organization, you about individual developers. I can have fullstack that is better than a specialist. Specialist only means that they have specialized in one part of the architec

How many hours spent on battling Laravel to do what you want? How many hours spent on upgrading Laravel versions? Framework solves a general problem, but we try to solve a specific problem, thus it will always be a mismatch, frameworks usua

> Don't you now need more fullstacks ? Yes. I’m generally against specialization and splitting teams. This of course depends on what type of organization you have and how complex the frontend is. iOS and Android is usually complex

Generally you don’t want to reuse the same API for different types of clients, you want backends for frontends (BFF) that are specialized for each use and can be moved forward in their own pace. The needs and the requirements differs a lot

SPAs transfers large amounts of data to the frontend to be able to do HTTP JOIN and then tosses most of it away.

I think one potential improvement for PHP is to make PHP templating usable again. This is something that could have a low cost of implementation but a big win. Example on improvements 1) auto-escape output - one of the biggest reason not t

And not only does the ORM itself have big performance impact, your own code will be designed around the assumptions of this particular ORM, e.g if it is easier to fetch a few row objects from different tables using the ORM and then do some

My recommendation for every PHP projects that uses external libraries is to use your own wrapper function/class to minimize contamination of the project. If you use a framework then try to write all your own code outside of the framewo
