Ok good to know. I thought it was kinda a legacy support language. Is it a good developer experience? A lot of languages still in use, like Java, I’d never personally touch with a ten foot pole, and are down trending. So that was more my question: do people still like PHP and is it worth starting a new project with in 2023. Why not use a more popular framework like Node?
Good to know, maybe I’ll pick up a book. I try to learn a new language every year.
Idk anything about it but from reading some of the code it looks like Java but with weird syntax. Not a big forced OOP fan.
Is PHP still a relevant language in today's day and age? I know a LOT of languages and it just never occurred to me to learn this one, because anyone I've ever been aware of writing a backend these days would either choose Node or one of several compiled languages. Lemmy uses Rust for it's backend which is highly desireable, many people would have used Golang in the backend world if they desired performance and compilation, otherwise I don't know why you wouldn't just use Typescript. Makes it hard to contribute to IMO.
Is there anything special or unique about tildes.net?
