PHP in 2024

I’m doing my freelance projects with laravel. It’s eloquent feature is so f**king good. with laravel 11, I don’t even need to worry about database setup in local environment. Love It!

PHP is an awesome. Laravel is a wonder. With this two I become a superpower!!!

Great to see PHP in evolving and maybe getting more traction. Started my development career using PHP. New devs have no idea what PHP actually is and how nice working with it is and Laravel is just amazing. I believe there’s no bad tool, there’s just the appropriate tool for the job.

oh a post about php… and its about laravel :/

I have no problem with PHP and Laravel; I used to work with them a long time ago and have since transitioned to Node.js-&gt; NestJS. Both platforms have their strengths and weaknesses, and ultimately, proficiency matters more than the technology itself.
For most companies, the key consideration is resource availability - It’s generally easier to find a JavaScript / TypeScript developer who can work on both the backend and frontend if needed, compared to sourcing a PHP developer for the backend and a separate JavaScript developer for the frontend.
