PHP Slander

PHP is blazingly fast and memory-efficient: with no runtime or garbage collector, it can power performance-critical services, run on embedded devices, and easily integrate with other languages.

All PHP developers are greedy for money, otherwise I can’t explain why I see dollar symbols in almost every line of code

The thing is that the best argument for learning php because is widely adopted, is more of a criticism toward most of internet infrastructure.

What infuriates me the most about PHP and its community is that with every major version bump, they say "We can't change that, we have to maintain compatibility with legacy code!", and yet in the very same sentence explain "Of course upgrading to a new major PHP version would break something! That's obvious, isn't it?"

PHP was written in the C programming language by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1994 for use in monitoring his online resume and related personal information. For this reason, PHP originally stood for "Personal Home Page".

PHP advocate: 8 out of 10 websites run on PHP!
Security experts: About 8 out of 10 websites have security vulnerabilities by our estimate

[Magnogen]

Please do Slander Slander. I would pay good money to see that.

[MHjort]

PHP also known as the instant legacy language

"Personal Home Page" slander
even the language's name makes fun of itself lmao

PHP means Partially Hot Potato
Another meaning: PHP elephant like syntax (🐘=PHP) ((just a joke))

IDK, I use PHP for over 10 years and it does its freaking job. I tried a number of different other languages/frameworks over my career but I always prefer to use PHP when it's possible. I have small-to-medium apps and services running on PHP on, low-resource (read cost-effective) servers that are proving extremely valuable for businesses. Every language has its strengths and weaknesses, so it's not about the language, it's all about you using it to solve a problem efficiently and making your code easy to read and maintain by other devs.

This video pretty much explains I went through I was "taught" php during school. PHP is the reason why I left school and dropped my CS degree.

IMO what helped PHP a great deal is it's stateless execution allowing to simply access the current request informations through globals or easily accessible context.

Once again, funny slander but impossible to read. The viewer's experience right now: stop the video, so that you can read, resume for few seconds until a new thing is in the screen, stop the video so that your can read, etc so on until the end, really really user un-friendly

[replikvltyoutube]

Rasmus Lerdorf is actually the biggest troll of IT

[vardhiro]

Php's syntax and power is as strong as an elephant

[diobrando]

I studied php this year and I enjoyed it ngl.
Probably because I still didn't use it in complex projects

I decided to bind ".." as "->" to ease my pain when using Laravel

[akin]

PHP version 7 & 8 are decent. Sprinkly in a little Laravel to make it good. Anything before version 7, let the hate begin.

php programmers when consistency and scalability (they're scared of scalable infra)

[stea]

My "favorite"part of PHP is the function return type inconsistencies. You expect string but it can also return false, null. Even core PHP functions do that.
