it's dying because people hates it.
I don't know if it's hard or not
php controls more than 70% of the web.
but nodejs is widely accepted by people.
but I use python Django |

It was never the best. I remember telling my friend over 10 years ago to move away from PHP. You hardly see any enterprise environment use PHP . At least the highest recruiters of programmers in Nigeria market. 1 Like 1 Share |

Dude... As I type I'm building something with php. I have been building things with php for years. I'm not quite grounded in nodejs and other Js frameworks, but I can confidently tell you that php gets shit done very fast. In terms of speed, php doesn't lag behind that much. You'll only ever notice speed difference in mega apps. Please don't let someone discourage you. I am venturing into more js framework, but php has put food on the table for several years. Have you seen php 7+? How about php 8? Shit is fast, cool and security had been upped!! 5 Likes |

Sometimes you have to move around to understand what you are comfortable with And sometimes the guys you move with and where the job is OP just start with something, you will find your ground for me, I am comfortable with C# .net/.net core and javascript/nodejs/expressjs/nestjs C# at work Nodejs at home up to enterprise-level And I have been writing for more than 8 years now 1 Like |

Somehow I find php too big die(just like Java). You can begin with it to start off- nothing to lose but plenty to gain. 1 Like |

AntiWailer:Php is still the easiest language that get things done easily. All the nonsense installation node brings to you can be frustrating. And many enterprise environment use PHP. Yes, js libraries are more scalable and faster, PHP can do almost anything on web. 2 Likes |

You can start with php. It is more easier to grasp in respect to web dev for most people. But as u gradually understand how the web works tou can migrate to node js and front end frameworks. My opinion though 1 Like |

ProfAmaben: Assumptions Assumptions Assumptions. Assumptions flying every where! Everyone of us assumes about the technology we don't know about, Someone says Mern stack is the worse, another says PHP covers 70% of the web so people should learn it instead. Another says don't learn it cause It sounds like PDP. Ironically, an ideal way to create a Wordpress website is to create the Theme from scratch, not as hard as some people think. Performance issues already solved just by taking this approach, because readymade themes tend to include a lot of scripts and styles which makes Wordpress sites slow like tortoise. You can also implement your own security easily. Anyway RIP to those that lost their lives in Arkansas, they have 7 virgins waiting for them. |

OP This is like asking someone, which OS is the best for programming, Windows, Linux, or MAC. Dude they all exist so you can choose which serves you best, which you feel comfortable with, which you like to toil with and which gives you so much joy . Having an Idea of both or all is not bad too, but take your time. You will find your comfort zone. No fighting, no fighting #inWyclefJeanVoice 4 Likes |

Nodejs is faster base on my research |

Godada: Well, that is because there other options like node js, go, and c#. But I'll say that everything depends on the application's requirements. |

In 2020, Nairaland so-called programmers are still arguing over which tech stack is better than the others. Shake my head. The little you knew, which real life problems have you been able to use it to solve? 4 Likes |

tosinhtml: So let's blame PHP's slowness on verbose scripts and styles. I really think that it's slowness chiefly comes from the fact that it is mainly the first language most programmers start with fresh out of college, or when learning programming. Most pick up bad habits and don't observe proper On standards due to their initial novice level. I wouldn't advice anyone to learn php in 2020 cos it's severely limited to backend development. JavaScript is the best cos you can do loads with it, even machine learning. 1 Like |

NEVER LEARN PHP IN 2020 http://linkedin.com/in/mohemos That's my linkedin profile. I guess I'm the best person to advise you... After using PHP (Laravel, Smarty) for 5 Years and currently using Nodejs TLDR; (The short answer is) : LEARN JAVASCRIPT then NODE.JS I earn $20/hour working remotely using NODE.JS & REACT.JS Long answer, picked from stackoveflow 2020 survey: Similar to last year, we asked about many of the other miscellaneous technologies that developers are using. For the second year in a row, Node.js takes the top spot, as it is used by half of the respondents. We also see growth across the board in the popularity of data analysis and machine learning technologies such as Pandas, TensorFlow, and Torch/PyTorch. https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2020#technology-other-frameworks-libraries-and-tools-professional-developers3 3 Likes 1 Share
