Note: This was originally posted as a Mastodon thread but since my posts there auto-delete after a while I decided to keep a a slightly modified version here too. The other day, I read this post titled What We Lost with PHP and jQuery. I never really was a PHP developer. I dabbled a bit, sometime around PHP 4.2 or so. I didn’t particularly like it. I checked in once with PHP 7 for some hackathon-type thing, and it had gotten much better already.| citizen428.net
