I fucking love PHP. I know I probably sound crazy to most developers, but PHP 8+ is freaking dope.
Yeah I was also pleasantly surprised having only heard about it before. Lots of good stuff
I haven't used or read about PHP after college, and I am quite interesred in what are the good stuffs that you like now.
It is cool to see how languages evolve.
I haven’t used php before and I am not that far into it yet, so I don’t really know what’s gotten better but I like how it handles arrays and it has loads of little functions that make life easier.
It’s best not to think about what PHP used to be. It will make you sick. Just know that it is very mature at this point. It is not as Serverless friendly as some of the other languages, but if you were running a VPS with a more traditional LAMP style set up, you can’t go wrong with PHP
