I still code with PHP.
Come at me.
Don’t worry I have your back. We’ll take ‘em together.
Modern PHP shits all over the PHP v3, v4, v5 days of yore.
Anyone making new projects from scratch is living in a land of bliss while those working in projects/frameworks that started in the days of yore are having experiences across the whole spectrum of, “Wow, I sure am glad we migrated to modern php” to “please kill me, I’m in so much pain”.
kbin is written in PHP ;)
Upvoted and boosted— oh wait, I’m on Lemmy! :)
I started with javascript and was reluctant to try php because of what I read online. Now Laravel is all I want to develop with
Still waiting for anybody to explain me why I shouldn’t write my backend in php
Everything works if you know it well enough. But what I remember annoying me with php most was the naming convention mess,
array_search,count,strlen, etc.\except $for $the $annoying $syntax $and $bad $function $naming, $it’s $actually $turned $into $a $fairly $decent $language->
After like a 10 years of coding in everything except PHP I actually started missing PHP. Everything is so bloated nowadays and all the shit that gets thrown towards the PHP is mostly just a BS from those that either never coded in PHP or stopped coding before PHP 5.6.
When I was studying I used php but not a lot so I don’t really have an opinion for it, why the “hate” for it? Coming from someone who uses React a lot
