Wonder how out of control this stuff will get
It’s not like these widely used languages are corporate backed, they may receive donation but nobody is hiring security researchers to focus on PHP
Facebook uses its own version of PHP so it is likely not too concerned what happens to the original
Hard to say but there is a call for donations to the php foundation in the message. Yah php still has it uses, but doesn’t appear to be as wildly used for new projects. Albeit lots of old ones still use it alot.
I would say laravel is as popular as any other framework, it obviously includes JavaScript components also but I hear about it more than any singular full JavaScript framework (probably because there is so many)
Yah in my experiences, I see rust as the natural progression away from PHP…but now with all the llm craze, i bet languages get chosen by how easy an llm can code in it.
