@ErikUden at first I was like no way Oracle is capable of producing anything functioning. But then I remembered that before crappy software would just not work. Now crappy AI will just make stuff up that everyone believes.

@sigmasternchen people advertising AWS lambda and stuff and I’m like I’ve been doing this forever what do you mean?


@tsia_@chaos.social ^^ Fun fact: In CloudRun (GCPs version of AWS Lambda) you can actually run any container with arbitrary scaling without resorting to Kubernetes. So if you're really determined to write a scaleable web app in PHP, I'd go with GCP. :P
Session management might be a pitfall though.

@sigmasternchen I totally get why people don’t like PHP. It’s very weird. I’m just used to it


@tsia_@chaos.social ^^ I have this weird love-hate relationship with PHP. On the one hand it's objectively extremely cursed, on the other hand it's just so incredibly handy. ^^

@sigmasternchen thank you. I’ve written a hand full of lines C so far and it wasn’t terrible. I’m mostly just too lazy to get properly used to new languages.
So I’m just staying with PHP and Python. But I also just do some scripting and automation most of the time.


@tsia_@chaos.social Ah, I see. ^^ Now I'm glad I didn't use PHP as my example for a language I didn't like. :P

@sigmasternchen yea ok C wasn’t the best example and I’m definitely not saying it’s a bad language (I’m just too stupid for it).


@tsia_@chaos.social But I totally feel you. C can be hard. Just because the language is easy doesn't mean using it is. ^^" I don't think you are stupid.

It feels to me that every big hate wave against some programming language is based on some type inference/casting behavior and nothing else.

Why does nobody say C is the worst and most cursed programming language because if you use pointers wrong your program goes *boom*?


@tsia_@chaos.social Hmm, for me personally the top reason for disliking a language is when it doesn't behave in a way I expect.
So for example, in JS:
(1<<30) > (1 << 31) but Math.pow(2, 30) < Math.pow(2, 31)
It makes sense when you know how bit-wise operations work under the hood in JS. But it is still kinda confusing.

And C - for all its faults - is actually really logical most of the time. Probably because it's so simple compared to more modern languages.
