Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
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.
\except $for $the $annoying $syntax $and $bad $function $naming, $it's $actually $turned $into $a $fairly $decent $language->
leaving a . so i know as well
kbin is written in PHP ;)
Upvoted and boosted--- oh wait, I'm on Lemmy! :)
I still code with PHP.
Come at me.
why?
Don’t worry I have your back. We’ll take ‘em together.
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 😃
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".
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
