PHP just sucks so bad.

What can i do in Jai i cant in, say Zig? I have never use Jai so im curious. I really how Haxe does metaprogramming, its incredibly powerfull. But not sure how Jai compares.

In Haxe i can pretty much do anything, run code, generate code, i even built an openapi doc on compile time just from types.

Nah. There is legacy, then there is the (now dying) wordpress/drupal/<php-cms> shops that still run PHP. Custom apps are not done in PHP, unless its a (usually) unskilled dev who knows no better.

With AI, there is little need for PHP in 2026, even for the novice dev. The onl thing PHP had in the early 2000s was the FTP deployment story, but that has long faded. I van deploy a go binary WAY easier than a PHP application.

I dont see much Hack out in the wild. Its basically only Meta that uses it for facebook. Also kind of funny that PHP was so BAD that they actually had the write their own language.

PHP is ONLY popular because of mainly wordpress. Usage outside the big CMS are minimal at best, in 2026. I dont see much greenfield / PHP jobs that are not legacy software these days.

LOL

PHP will always be the slop before AI.

This is pure gold. A critical vuln like this is such classic lolphp. Luckily you can port away from PHP pretty easily with AI.

Probably not. PHP is so badly built these kinds of things happen frequently.

PHP strikes again.

Im going to give this a go. Im using berkeley mono, so this is up my alley. What colorscheme are you using in the examples? I tend to find that font + colorscheme goes hand in hand.

This is probably going to be banned in EU, like the cyber truck. But, yeah.. kund of meh looking design and obviously i will have nothing to do with anything elon related.

Obviously. But a sane languge could/would just require better design and performance tuning. Not reinvent a new languge kind of change. At scale you need to design carefully no matter if its Java, C or Rust. But you mostly can keep the languge and not write you own.

Was a user, its a really nice font. Then i found Berkeley Mono, that has been the daily deiver for the past 5-6 years.

Not sure about gala, but lisette produces good and readable go-code. There is a prelude (option, reault etc) package you possible would want to get rid of if you ejected. But an LLM could easily do this manual task for you pretty easily.

Sure, PHP was obviously a very poor choice as an main language. Facebook still today suffers (i know people at facebook), and even pured in millions for HHVM and Hacklang.

If they had opted for C# they could probably have been able to run it as-is today.
