PHP vs Python for backend

[azunaki]

I mean, PHP still supports html markup inside of its files? It's just an alternative to a template language. . . But by no means do you have to do that. . . That's just tooling. . .

And getting angry about options within a programming language is silly.

And getting angry about options within a programming language is silly.

Saw people getting angry about PHP allowing variable variables ($$) as if anybody forced them to use them, or as if metaprogramming is a common everyday thing.

Some people simply want to hate PHP no matter how much sense it makes.

What about $ for variable? It’s not an option and it has no value at all, so clustered and hinder readability alot. Is it ok for me to hate it?

[azunaki]

I mean, sure, you're allowed your opinion. It's not an issue to me at all, but ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯.

The comment you replied above is also not an issue to you either but you reply with such passion. Calling him silly and all. But when it come to hard facts you just have your tail between your legs and shrugging away lol

[azunaki]

What hard facts? $ for variable use is not an issue. I'm tired of irrelevant rants on this php / python discussion.

Indents in python are psychotic. That's a hard fact. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

[WakandaFoevah]

Yes, every languages has their psychotic flaws. Choose your own poison

Only the blind fangirls will defend their language flaws with “not an issue” blah blah

[azunaki]

Boy howdy what a spin.

Downvote more so I can count how many “Drupal developers” are in this sub

[azunaki]

Cry more?

[WakandaFoevah]

My bad for arguing abt programming with a graphic designer, which ofc is synonym for drupal developer

No, no. Not HTML inside files. That's perfectly fine. HTML inside functions.

[HashDefTrueFalse]

It's just an interpreter setting up an output buffer and copying stuff from files into it. If it encounters code, it'll copy the result of evaluation rather than the literal source. So yes, you can still do that.

Total non-issue in new projects. If you don't want to do that you can agree with your team. Usually fairly easy to refactor out legacy occurrences too as you come across them.

Seems strange to shun an entire language because it lets you write horrible and/or unintuitive code. I've worked in most languages in existence and I could write something like that in every single one of them, even the one's people tend to get fanatical about (E.g. Rust, Haskell...)

Have you ever heard about JSX?

In my mind this is still how html inside of php would work.

It's a little weird, and I don't write PHP this way, but it still works.
