Why I stopped creating PHP projects with Wappler and why you probably should too

[Hyperbytes]

Did a bit of a survey of node a while back here

Node and Docker Survey

The forum seems to be pretty much dominated by posts and reports related to Node and Docker technologies I am intrigued to know if this is because everyone is using node and/or docker or if this is due to the level of issues being experienced as they are relatively new technologies added to Wappler so I thought I would start this survey Which platform is your primary platform for web app development i.e. the platform you currently use most poll Do you use Docker as your Primary method of web…

Only 47 people voted which leads me to think that the majprity of Wappler users either don't use the forum much, are not interested or perhaps too confused/ intimidated to interact.

My current new project is Node, previously mostly PHP, did use legacy ASP for many years.
If i recall ASP was replaced by .net framework about 20 years ago but people still use it.

PHP is still a force to be reckoned with. for many reasons not least it drives WordPress which is dominant on the web at present.
PHP keeps evolving, getting faster and feature rich, I am not yet ready to write it off as soon to be dead. I predict we will still see it as a major player in 10 years personally.

Yes, node is great but PHP is a proven platform. Remember the old adage, "nobody ever got fired for buying IBM", may not be the best but is is proven and dependable.

I am not yet ready to write off PHP.
