PHP until version 5 was not great. PHP jokes and hate are always been lingering around. Part of the reason is that PHP started as a hack and that Rasmus, the "inventor" of PHP, has always been a bad frontman. You can read some of his quotes here: https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Rasmus_Lerdorf Almost every person that is a good SW engineer and like to code has problem with that philosophy. The truth is that today PHP is a pretty good language. CakePHP, Laravel and Symphony have been pretty good frameworks from a SW engineering point of view. I haven't written PHP code in the last 5 years but I miss the development experience. Everything is by default stateless. Accessing a page always starts from a blank state. You edit and save a file and you can reload instantly the page with the new code. Of course "re-execute everything" can become quite expensive at runtime... In general I think the modern PHP is hated without a reason. Its bad rep will be hard to overcome. |
