Of course not at all, I wrote the full WebCurate website using core PHP, without even using any of its external frameworks :)
It's an easy to learn language tbh. Btw, thanks for the article!
Ah, I completely missed your message earlier — thanks for sharing! 😊 Writing the entire WebCurate site in core PHP is seriously impressive. It’s great to hear how approachable you found the language too. Glad you enjoyed the article!
Pretty cool, honestly- I've been in the PHP world forever and it's still kicking, no matter what pops up next.
Absolutely! PHP has been around for decades, and it’s amazing how it continues to evolve and stay relevant no matter what new tech comes along.
Honestly, I still reach for PHP whenever I need something done fast. Old habits just work.
Totally get that, PHP is still such a go-to for quick, reliable solutions. Sometimes the old habits are the most efficient ones :)
