[No PHPun Intended] A Brief History of Web Development - eviltoast

Source.

Yep, PHP is turning 30 this year! Wondering if “PHP is still relevant?” Ever since we have been hearing that PHP is dead. It was “dead” 10 years ago, 5 years ago, and “is dead” today. But somehow - it isn’t. Anyway… happy birthday!

    this is perl erasure

    also php didn’t cause the internet to suck; overreliance on javascript (and js based frameworks) did. there’s a reason that modern internet is so slow and clunky and it’s not php. at least php has the capabibility to improve over time not degrade.
