  • Having spent my college years writing dozens of Node apps, when I got a job writing PHP I actually loved it. It was weird at first, the syntax looks old and gross, and it certainly doesn’t have the sex-appeal. That being said, I didn’t have to spend hours setting up an environment, I didn’t have to think much about how to pull in packages, and concurrency via async/await made my life so much easier. The just-copy-everything mentality also meant I could basically never make a mistake ;)

    I write C++ (for games) now and often wish things were as easy as when I wrote PHP.
