Welcome to Programmer Humor!
This is a place where you can post jokes, memes, humor, etc. related to programming!
For sharing awful code theres also Programming Horror.
if you're still working on PHP in this day and age, might as just let the vibes wash over you
EDIT : Dear PHP devs, please don't take it personally; it's a low hanging fruit joke. It seems you have a chip on your shoulder from decades of abuse, and I'm sorry to re-open old wounds.
Why? I haven't used it to verify, but my understanding is that similarly to JavaScript, it has evolved into a fully featured and ergonomic language. Is that incorrect?
It's much, much worse than JS. The language is abysmal and the standard library is the worst I've ever seen across any language. I'd even prefer not to have one at all if I had to choose
similarly to JavaScript,
that alone should clue you in on how shitty and hated it is. I haven't done much with it, but it was the language to hate before JS started to really proliferate.
So you don't have a real reason. Cool cool cool
Of course they don't. Anyone actually accountable, I believe, have their own researches on the subjects done, and instantly notices trolling.
We may wait now for copy-pasted or LLM-generated pros/cons, too, for a sudden "proof" no one asked for.
Lemmy trolls...
I've been into web-dev since 2007, I've been working with corporations who are processing high load traffic, including payment systems. I tell you that 80% of these work with PHP and have no major issues. Valve's Steam is PHP even, and still does work, right?
Have you even considered Laravel, and Symfony? Optimizations as OpCode and Jit?
It all works and is stable. Not only that, but it's easy to deploy and release since you don't have to compile it every single time.
Depending on the team, the code is greatly organized, syntax is featureful and allows for both static and runtime/dynamic safety.
You, @Skullgrid@lemmy.world? You might haven't yet worked in actual enterprise. You should get fundamental knowledge on the subject you raise your voice at.
I am sorry, but please do invest some accountable time and actually read something about the subject, prior claiming people are idiots and don't do their own research of almost 40 years of life.
PHP is a perfectly capable and freaking awesome language for almost any web-dev and is lovely to work with.
Oh! You might as well ask your "vibes" about the trends/statistics around the globe at enterprise, make some comparisons, or well some valuable research etc. if you are not capable to achieve the same manually, considering your infant attitude to complex systems.
You do you, indeed.
P.S. We may wait now for copy-pasted or LLM-generated pros/cons, too, for a sudden "proof" no one asked for.
I'm literally working on APIs for my company on python right now, while I develop something else in django for my personal project(s). I've worked for fortune 500 companies, and actually used minimal PHP on my own website as a hack for menu reuse.
It's a joke , you guys are taking it too seriously. The main idea is that compared to things like python, php is outdated. Yes, legacy systems exist, and are successful. But it was a punching bag for webdev hate for a long time, in a way that other things like perl, ruby , or python have not been.
Maybe regurgitating those jokes are not that funny. Alright. Doesn't mean that you need to try to bring my skills down and attack my professionalism.
Why
because it's pointless, thus no need to bring your best.
