What I love about this is how PHP and JavaScript had basically the same syntax (minus a $ symbol here or a var keyword there), and then NodeJS was like, but we want to run JS on the server! And now, 15 years later JavaScript has finally caught up and it’s basically the same as PHP, but with more acronyms and a steeper learning curve (to be fair, streaming data from server to client components using suspense is cool). I’ve been using NextJS 13 and I love how it makes SSR as easily achievable as it always was with PHP and always should have been. I’d recommend it highly.
