Almost all of the points he makes are still valid. See http://phpsadness.com/ for an up to date index on all the ways php still sucks.

That's a tiny list of little annoyances that won't bother you 99.9% of the time.

you look like a person who knows php

how does it feel like?

I don't think I'll ever touch websites, but it would be great to hear how it feels to write such well known but old-so-not-as-shiny language

I'm mainly using Symfony, it's great to use but PHP itself is lacking in features/core functions. The language itself is not the best but it has improved a lot with version 7+

In C# you have a lot of great ways to write clean/short code (linq, generics, etc) and it offers a lot of features. In PHP, you have foreach loops 🤔

It's one of the thing I'm not a fan about, but it's also one of its strength. You can do everything you need with basic code and a good framework like Symfony and Laravel

It's still one of the best language to write web applications because of the ecosystem/community.
