Still waiting for anybody to explain me why I shouldn’t write my backend in php
Everything works if you know it well enough. But what I remember annoying me with php most was the naming convention mess,
array_search,count,strlen, etc.\except $for $the $annoying $syntax $and $bad $function $naming, $it's $actually $turned $into $a $fairly $decent $language->
I think the PHP maintainers recognize that drawback and are working/have done a lot of work to fix conventions. I remember having to fix my code the last time I updated to the latest PHP version because they changed the arguments to a function call to be more in line with the arguments for other similar functions.
leaving a . so i know as well
It's not trendy, and not forcing you to write properly your code.
