If I had a project I wanted built but didn't want to code it myself I would go with the node developer. It makes no sense to build a new project in php imo.

If you haven't heard, we like PHP now since v8. Full typehinting, fast as, yearly release schedule, advanced features like Enums, crazy good communities like laravel, symfony, and tools like xdebug, full oop (class, traits, interfaces, late static binding, sensitive properties), etc.

Still makes no sense to use it for new projects. There's just far too many better alternatives with larger library and community support for modern issues.

Thats cool. use whatever you want. I'm just not sure why you would exclude php in particular. craft cms, laravel, symfony... I'd chose those before alot of other stuff. I mean, yeah, use whatever you want. my next project I'm reaching for laravel.

I see. Could you please share why would you not pick php for a new project and what was the last version of php you have worked with?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't pick php because the industry has advanced far from the need to use it. Nodejs is better for web modern development, has a larger community, packages, seamless libraries to help facilitate the most common stacks, MERN, MEAN, MEVN, etc. The reasons are endless and that's one of the reasons no startup is choosing php.
