I can't find a better language to use in 2019 in the backend if you are developing a website.
Is there a better language built for rapid web application development. You could debate which is better rails/laravel but in 2019 I would learn php.
You may suggest Go, python, .net, node, Perl or java. They could be used but each only offers an advantage in certain situations and make development slower or have another disadvantage.
If you want to make a website using php is the simplest easiest fastest choice available.
I think it’s still one of the pragmatic language around.
The ‘quick and very dirty’ parts are still there, the ‘clean and efficients’ bits have been added, and there’s a ton of still runnable doc and code lying around.
All of that is a blessing and a curse of course, but I think that makes it a unique proposition.
