Developers in general are strange human creatures. People often users terms such as nerds to describe us for a reason. We are usually over-passionate about certain things (hate or love), and are often closed-mind (surprisingly). Once we hate something, we never look back.
PHP was an easy blame target for many security and performance issues of the web, mainly because it is:
The most popular language for the web
Easy to pickup (but not easy to master, no language is easy to master)
I think one should learn PHP if:
They want to look for job (not the best paying, but always in demand)
They are familiar with and like C-style syntax
They want to work with a stable language (no sudden change of syntax, or major issue upgrading to new version)
They like the a performant scripting language (with plugin, PHP can also do async like Node and Co routine like Go). The new JIT feature in PHP 8 should open doors for Machine Learning and many other applications with PHP as well. We may even see a PHP based server someday.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
