      PHP was a lot of fun. Easy to deploy and easy to debug.https://twitter.com/jacobian/status/1163453179499089921 …

      I'm not ashamed to admit that sometimes I miss PHP. Over 20 years later, and still nobody's even come _close_ to PHP's ease of deployment. This tweet brought to you by the 3 programming languages and 5 Docker images I need just to run one app.

      PHP, the Arctic Monkeys of programming languages. Nostalgic teenage memories, great fun while it lasted.

      @jacobian Slack’s post on this is great. Perhaps one could copy these advantages into JS somehow. React/JSX is partially there in terms of bundling things together.https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1163512170631446528?s=21 …

      💯 @rauchg is super smart and had been meaning to try out @zeithq. I hadn’t made the mental connection to it as “the good parts of PHP in JS” till just now.

      And while Zeit/Now is fantastic, JS + Now is still not as simple as PHP + Apache :-).

          Personally I find @Netlify deployments even easier. You don't have to worry about it since deployments are automatic with the GitHub integration after each commit

          Are you sure? Even with zero-config serverless Node.js functions? 😅 For the fronted, I would argue that doing `npm create next-app` and `now` (then editing JSX) is just as easy. For the backend, creating a file called `api/index.js` and putting a JS function inside.

          Biggest change of direction since Now 2, what's left is rewiring our brains that it just works. v1 -> v2 -> zero-config and Next 9

          I've never done much PHP, but it does seem to me that with Next.js+Zeit that problem goes away. With Apache you have to worry about hosting, server, scaling, etc. Next.js compiles to static pages+server side rendered in lambdas.
