1 year agoFunny that a lot of people responded by bashing on PHP, but I saw very little real arguments why PHP is so awful. What makes PHP that bad besides being the target of memes?
I mean “lame”, “old” or “dead” aren’t particularly convincing arguments.
What are those warts? I’m not trying to be a dick, I’m just not educated enough on this subject. Is it more the ease of use (needing much more lines of code to do something or you need to build things yourself since there isn’t a function for it) or more the way the language is build (multiple functions doing the same thing or misorder of arguments)? Or is it just the performance?
I started with PHP years back, shifted to Android/Java and then to C# (Xamarin) to Javascript (node.js/React(Native)). All in a hobby/personal project form, so I didn’t bump into problems with PHP most peofessionals seem to have and I still use it for API’s sometimes.
