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 I'm just fresh from school, but I've been using PHP+Laravel for ~1 year (including a 3 month "professional" internship), and I can confirm. Using that particular combination for web development (be it a standalone web API or a full stack monolith) is really a pleasure, it's really powerful, reasonably easy, well documented (IMHO)... I don't understand why some people are so dismissive. Just use what you like, we PHPers are not gonna hurt you. XD
@array Hi! You're so right. I'm really glad to read that you're having a good experience with PHP and Laravel.
