PHP really sucks. PHP is dead.
It's what I often hear or read. I started to use PHP around 2002 and I'm still it using today. I'm not the only one using it.

- PHP is used by 75% of all websites
- Many, many FOSS projects are built with PHP
- With the age of 28 years, PHP probably exist the next 28 years (the Lindy effect)
- Most used CMSs are built with PHP and used by many organizations and individuals

I really enjoy using it and with nostrphp (npub1php…ha0j) I'm challenging myself again to push the boundaries what's possible combined with Nostr.

As #PHP developers we're used to hear that PHP sucks. Or it's just dead.
But we now better. We know it doesn't suck anymore. But do we know why? When talking to other developers, it is something handy to send them some resources to tell them why 🤓 What are your favorite resources?
