You got it backwards there. PHP was pretty bad (mostly because it was easy to pick up so novice and shitty programmers used it a lot), but got insanely better, and it absolutely stood the test of time - most of modern web still uses it and it isn’t going anywhere. There are also few languages that would have such a robust ecosystem where you could whip up a solid, complete app in a few hours. JS comes close but its ecosystem is a clusterfuck. Everything else has poor third party support - be it libraries, connectors to various services or just simply best practices (for web).
I would argue but there is nothing to say about clearly wrong statements. PHP was ‘good’ (compared to nothing comparable) and is now no challenger any more. It stays as a result of dullness. “Everything else has poor third party support”? Well let me answer this as accurate as possible: lmao
Who downvoted this person’s preference?
Like “you preferenced wrong”? “You have the wrong likes”? “You like something different from me?”
The did not follow the hivemind of “Rust good, JS slow, C complex, PHP bad” which clearly means they are in the wrong /s

…so you have not, in fact, used PHP in the past decade or so. Thanks for letting us know.
The person upthread got downvoted for what they like. 🤷
