    Don’t judge PHP by what you saw in WordPress. Modern PHP is amazing, WordPress had horrible code when it started and they definitely didn’t fix things afterwards. It’s a horrible slow mess of a code. Look at some modern PHP (for example this api of mine ) to compare.

      Thanks for sharing a modern php codebase. It makes me confident that giving it up and switching to Python was the right choice.

        Ah enjoy your single thread. I’ll be there writing writing kick ass code in rust and wondering about important stuff like… err… who owns that fucking variable…

        Imagine going to the slowest and ugliest interpreted language there is and feeling superior about it.

        Like, modern Python is basically what PHP was at its lowest point, PHP 4 (20 years ago).

          Mojo is what is keeping me vindicated that python was a good choice. That and it’s worked for every project I’ve ever used it for lol

          But that’s small potatoes in the technologist game
