PHP is old
Same age as Ruby, Java and JavaScript, but younger than Python, C, and C++. 😛
I'm guessing they meant "old" as in "no one uses it anymore, it's dead"
Meanwhile PHP quietly runs 80% of the internet by being used for WordPress.
Don’t tell my bosses that. Or the PHP community as a whole for that matter. Then I might have to get a real job.
I'm sorry. If you exclude the millions of sites using it, it is virtually unused.
The year they both came out (1995) I was coding in Visual Basic 3. Ack.
Modern php is not bad actually. Still kinda slow and dangerous, but A LOT better than it used to be :')
That said, i wouldnt build a web service with php still lolActual definitions (my opinion):
- HTML is website
- CSS is style
- JS is everywhere
- SQL is data
- Python is simple
- PHP is backend
- Markdown is README
- YAML is config
