How PHP is slowly killing itself.?

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS A REPOST FROM MY OLD BLOG

I’m using PHP for almost the entirety of my career. Its my initial weapon in my day-to-day work. I really have no problem with PHP. I’m a big fan of Taylor Otwell’s Laravel. Like most of the people says its like a taste of heaven from hell.

1. Developers/Community

I admit not all PHP developers have this tendencies. but some of the developers just omit the proper way of doing things. I guess its flexibility is a double edged sword. Also PHP has been around for quite a while it turns to a point that some of its early adapters just doesn’t want to innovate and use the new ways of doing stuff. I respect guys behind Laravel for working hard to uplift and encourage developers to write beautiful codes.

2. Frameworks

Being one of the widely used scripting language PHP has tons of available frameworks but in comparison with other frameworks such as RoR wherein it requires everyone that uses it to use the proper MVC. I’m not saying that PHP can’t do this but most of the widely used frameworks just allow developers to commit this blunder.

— Conclusion —

I’m still optimistic about PHP with the help of PHP7 and frameworks such as Laravel and CakePHP. I can argue that we can still produce beautiful codes with it and erase the stereotype that PHP is equal to dumbness.
