It’s Cool to Hate PHP
📌 PHP is one of the most popular languages on the internet yet it’s also one of the most hated languages thanks to its inconsistencies and issues.
📌 The problem with PHP is because of its large user base, it’s easy to find bad and hard-to-maintain code, add WordPress to the mix, one of the most popular CMS yet one of the hardest to maintain pieces of software. I swore to never maintain another WordPress anymore, maybe I’m ignorant but using a blog platform for other than it’s purposes is asking for a nightmare in the future.
📌 Don’t get me wrong. I also use PHP in my projects it’s not the best choice but it got the job done.
📌 Conclusion
PHP may not be the best language but give modern frameworks such as Laravel or Symfony a try maybe it could change your mind and stop the hatred from growing, it’s not good for both parties anyway and in my opinion good developer can make a good software using the worst language and vice versa.
