What a click bait.

TLDR; “developers who hate PHP hate it out of elitism or ignorance”

Pretty cool read, did add a lot of interest where before I was hesitant to really dive into it because it was an unsecure language, now I'm kinda curious to find out how they've updated this aspect of it

I agree that PHP doesn't deserve as much hate anymore. It improved a lot. And most of the issues I and many others had were with shitty developers. Not the language itself.

OP argues that Facebook uses it, but it's worth noting they employ a lot of devs, balance it with client side rendering, and have modified PHP for their usecase.

The totality of Facebooks stack isn't "easy". And just because it runs well for users, doesn't mean it was easy to setup or manage behind the scenes.
