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.

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.

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".

My private website is based on CodeIgniter and by this of course on PHP.

Can we please hate JavaScript again? (what I sadly also use)

Is php worth hating? I did some in college and didn't care for it. I don't remember exactly why though. I built a POC super simple MVC framework and found it really easy to implement. But then I moved on to other stuff (java/ruby/python/js) and promptly forgot about it.

I don't think real hate is worth it at all, I mean its about programming languages 😃

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

PHP has lasted 30 years while newer frameworks and languages from tech companies barely last 5.

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

one of my work's systems runs entirely on PHP 😩 luckily it's mostly phased out but I still have to experience hell every now and then
