I’ve been writing PHP for over 20 years. I use it for my hosted (backend) programs.
Works a treat. It’s robust, fast as hell, easy to make secure, runs on the cheapest, crappiest hosting, and has an enormous support infrastructure.
That said, I’ve never particularly liked the language, and have never become an advanced adept at it. I use it to manage the less-glamorous part of my work. I’m mostly a native Apple developer (Swift).
