Yep, PHP is turning 30 this year! Wondering if "PHP is still relevant?" Ever since we have been hearing that PHP is dead. It was “dead” 10 years ago, 5 years ago, and “is dead” today. But somehow - it isn’t. Anyway... happy birthday!

Everyone in this thread: PHP sucks because it was bad when I last used it 20 years ago.

I mean it does suck, but it sucks less than anything else we have.

FastAPI ftw, fight me! Lol jk Django is cool and useful and serves a different need, quite well from what I understand.

Lol I've used both, FastAPI is nice too! I think my ideal situation would be FastAPI's endpoints/routing, combined with Django's ORM and DRF's automagic serializers/viewsets.

You may like Django Ninja with a dash of FastAPI-HTMX or Fasthx.
