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 @ellotheth I'm pretty sure the "PHP is dead" sentiment is by no means limited to articles. I hear that sentiment voiced by experienced researchers speaking at security conferences, on social media, etc. Maybe fault them rather than "articles"?

@dangoodin @ellotheth No, I'm happy to fault the articles as I'm pretty sure they are not the type of authors to attend security conferences.

@druid @ellotheth Yes, because it's much easier to shoot down "articles" than it is to shoot down an experienced researcher who says precisely the same thing.
