Ask HN: Still acceptable to use PHP for new projects?
We've all heard the discussion of PHP over the years- its faults, why other languages are better. However, it is the language & ecosystem that I know best and have the most experience with.
Obviously, the user doesn't care about the backend of a system. From a developer's point of view, though, is PHP still acceptable to use for new projects, even though "better" languages like Python and Ruby are way more available than they were years ago? Or is it no longer considered a good idea to use PHP if I'm starting with a clean slate?
