Disagree with PHP Disadvantages:

  • Inconsistent language design: I'd like to see any proof of this
  • security vulnerabilities if not used properly: PHP provides good security practices and is quite secure in its latest version. If not used properly, any programming language can be vulnerable
  • slower performance compared to some other server-side scripting languages: that is not true as well, as the latest version of PHP, performance benchmarks are faster than Python, Node.js, or Ruby.

The real disadvantages are:

  • restricted to web only
  • does not support asynchronous actions
  • does not support Non-blocking I/O

In general, your post looks like a ChatGPT-generated answer.

Yeah, I have the same felling about this post. I mean objective-c or R (niche language for statistics and anlaysis) over Golang or Rust?

Both have great support for wasm, for example, if we are talking about web development in '24 and on
