I don’t know if it’s due to over-exposure to programming memes but I certainly believed that no one was starting new PHP projects in 2023 (or 2020, or 2018, or 2012…). I was under the impression we only still discussed it at all because WordPress is still around.

Would a PHP evangelist like to disabuse me of my notions and make an argument for using PHP for projects such as Kbin in this day and age?

      I’ve done some embedded rust and liked it. I imagine it would be miserable for Web dev though. I haven’t checked out what frameworks were around to make things easy so maybe I’m off base. What’s the devex like currently?
