I'm really fed up of seeing articles like:

• PHP is dead
• Does PHP have a future?
• 10 reasons not to use PHP
• Here's a hundred languages to use instead of PHP

#php is a fantastic, highly capable #programming language that's constantly evolving. I suspect the authors of such articles may have used PHP once in 1995 for a "Hello world".

If you can't cope without using a million Java frameworks or whatever else is flavour of the month then you might want to reassess your own #coding skills. 😠

@druid Because it is easier to rehash the same old lies, then actually use the language and see if you encounter flaws that you think are dealbreakers.

Yeah PHP still has some pretty rough edges that can/should be fixed. But it's not the same language as even 5y ago.

And give someone enough time with a programming language they will find stuff to complain about it.
