I use PHP as a back end language for an API. The front end is Vue. It’s fast as fuck, runs anywhere, doesn’t need tons of dependencies, and just does what I want it to.
The environment is all on-premise, so that does limit our options… but I’d still pick PHP.
PHP enters the chat
PHP has property typing now, that means it easily beats Javascript. It’s on par with Python, wherever that’s placed on the list.
I’m not really sure why this image chose to put JavaScript and python in with C# and Rust. Just one of those anti-JavaScript nuts
Neat, and how’s it run in the browser?
Runs quite fast, actually: https://seanmorris.github.io/php-wasm/ Needs a few lines of Javascript to bootstrap, though.
About as great as python or ruby or ASP or .NET or any other back end WEB language.
Then it’s not for what Javascript is for. It’s not in contention.
I don’t care how nice your favorite truck is if I’m going across a lake.

I still use PHP in like 1/8 client projects - it’s fast as shit now ^^ lolol
I’ve been a PHP developer for 20 years. I concur.
Serious question: what’s the use case for using PHP in greenfield projects? Is the client dictating the use of PHP or your own choice?
