PHP is just htmx taken to the extreme - no js needed at all if you don’t want to! It’s liberating.

That said last time I used it was ~2007 and I don’t plan to come back.

No ROI for me. Got other stacks for the backend and ‘just ftp it’ realistically isn’t a deployment option anymore unless you’re a single man Wordpress shop or whatever.

FTP? Seriously?

And PHP isn't just Wordpress.

exactly - if I have to build a docker image anyway the deployment advantage of php is completely wiped out.
