php and mysql were a much simpler time
2 comments

Perl is my LAMP stack of choice.

Just trying to generate html templates dynamically with a $db object interspersed in is still a pretty rad & pure experience. Not much between you & the machine. Not that I've actually done that in the last two decades. I used a little ejs though & wrote a little build tool to turn ejs template like things into standalone modules.

php and mysql are not dead. They make for a great choice for a startup or fortune 500.
