        people give it crap and don't realize it's an older language than that of Rust/Go/Swift, yet they compare it to them

        The pro arguments of PHP are bullshit. Wikipedia & Facebook was made in 2001/2004 when PHP was a good choice, but is not anymore.

        good languages go to the rest and peace. Bad languages as PHP and C++ go to the hell of work

        I agree with his "pro" on isolated requests... I just think Rails dev mode is a sufficient approximation to it.
