  • Not being a hip new language is an advantage on my books, and on many others'. PHP has been battle-tested and was once (and in a way, still is) a pillar of the internet. Stability always trumps novelty. Rust wasn't exactly created with the internet in mind, but PHP was, and it's way easier to find PHP developers than it is to find Rust developers (last time I checked).

    Though the performance boost provided by Rust over PHP is not something to be ignored, though servers written in C or C++ have also been around for quite a while, and PHP still managed to trump many of them.

  • Things can still take a turn. There are a fuck ton and a half of pull requests still not pushed on the main branch that fopefully fix many issues.

    Also, lemmy has been in development for quite a bit longer, so I wouldn't give up on kbin yet. At least I won't.

  • Well, given the C projects I've worked on take hours just to compile, I think I can cut some slack for any IDE for being slow. Though I haven't used CLion a lot so I can't really speak from experience about it. Though VSCode is fast enough most of the times, and it usually only gets slower with nested macro fuckery and/or external library headers.

  • Playing the devil's advocate here, even IDEs like Visual Studio and IntelliJ have multiple times crashed on me or taken ages to update a single line on intellisense. C++ is simply a language where a dynamic LSP is everything but easy to make.
