Stupid Question, not an insult: Why is kbin written in PHP?

Is PHP still a relevant language in today's day and age? I know a LOT of languages and it just never occurred to me to learn this one, because anyone I've ever been aware of writing a backend these days would either choose Node or one of several compiled languages. Lemmy uses Rust for it's backend which is highly desireable,...

EthicalAI,

Yeah that never happens lol

EthicalAI, (edited )

Idk anything about it but from reading some of the code it looks like Java but with weird syntax. Not a big forced OOP fan.

EthicalAI,

Good to know, maybe I’ll pick up a book. I try to learn a new language every year.

EthicalAI,

Ok good to know. I thought it was kinda a legacy support language. Is it a good developer experience? A lot of languages still in use, like Java, I’d never personally touch with a ten foot pole, and are down trending. So that was more my question: do people still like PHP and is it worth starting a new project with in 2023. Why not use a more popular framework like Node?

moohamin12, to kbinMeta

Hello,

Does anyone know if there is any plans for a mobile app for Kbin?

It is really the only thing left for me to move to Kbin totally.

EthicalAI,

@moohamin12 The mobile website sucks so yeah we definitely need this.

EthicalAI,

Is there anything special or unique about tildes.net?
