| Apr 17, 2016 at 7:36 | comment | added | jpmc26 | If you're interested in a solid, objective argument for why not PHP, I don't think any of us could do better than PHP: a fractal of bad design. Yes, PHP is still popular, but popularity isn't always the best measure of quality. If you don't find the kinds of issues raised their to be problems, then maybe you will be fine with PHP. @MichaelHampton suggested Go, but Ruby, Node.js, Python, and even .NET are quite widely used as well. You may also find some of their frameworks easier to get up and running with. | |
| Apr 17, 2016 at 5:12 | comment | added | Michael Hampton | I thought about this some more, and I felt it necessary to come back and even more strongly urge you to consider Go: You can reimplement this particular page in approximately zero lines of code. The Go standard library is immense, and provides almost any primitive you can think of, and there's such a large array of third party libraries already, including full CMS construction kits such as Qor that have much of what you need already written. Qor's admin module has the illustrated functionality already complete, for instance. And you can mix and match where it makes sense. | |
| Apr 17, 2016 at 4:01 | comment | added | Corbin | To offer another perspective, after 6 years of PHP followed by 2 years of Rails, I sometimes miss PHP. Like everything, Rails certainly has its downsides too, though they're less immediately obvious or as glaring. PHP can be a perfectly decent language if you use a good framework and know what blemishes of the language to avoid or minimize. It's certainly worth exploring other options (Rails really is great!), but PHP as a community has come a long way since the days of it being spaghetti insanity, and the language is continually improving. | |
| Apr 16, 2016 at 20:05 | comment | added | Michael Hampton | It's popular, but that doesn't mean that it's good! I've been disillusioned with PHP for many years for a variety of reasons. After a brief affair with Ruby on Rails, I've mostly settled on Go for server-side web apps. | |
| Apr 16, 2016 at 20:03 | comment | added | RedDragonWebDesign | @MichaelHampton I was thinking about that too, although some quick googling indicated to me that PHP is still a very popular language for server-side coding. Do you have an alternative suggestion? | |
