    PHP or C++, I love both of them for different reasons. Tough one deciding between the two.

          Haha. I’m sure they’re joking.

          But probably because you chose two languages with relatively scary syntax.

          I don’t know how to create automation to summon extraplanar nightmare creatures, but if I had to start, my first attempt would be PHP, and I know in my heart that getting it working would require C++.

              The AI model has revised your prompt: A terrifying creature from another dimension is being summoned. This is happening through a unique and unusual method, which combines elements of computer coding. The person initiating the summoning is dynamically typing a hybrid language that merges the syntax and functions of two popular programming languages, PHP and C++. The scene is imbued with a supernatural feel as ethereal lights emanate from the lines of code, giving a clue that this is not ordinary programming but something arcane and otherworldly.

                5 stars, would summon with an unholy mix of C++ and PHP again.

              Have you used modern PHP with its ecosystem and frameworks? It’s actually really solid, and really good at what it aims to do.

      Who downvoted this person’s preference?

      Like “you preferenced wrong”? “You have the wrong likes”? “You like something different from me?”

        The did not follow the hivemind of “Rust good, JS slow, C complex, PHP bad” which clearly means they are in the wrong /s

          You’re welcome to like what you like

          The person upthread got downvoted for what they like. 🤷

          You got it backwards there. PHP was pretty bad (mostly because it was easy to pick up so novice and shitty programmers used it a lot), but got insanely better, and it absolutely stood the test of time - most of modern web still uses it and it isn’t going anywhere. There are also few languages that would have such a robust ecosystem where you could whip up a solid, complete app in a few hours. JS comes close but its ecosystem is a clusterfuck. Everything else has poor third party support - be it libraries, connectors to various services or just simply best practices (for web).

            I would argue but there is nothing to say about clearly wrong statements. PHP was ‘good’ (compared to nothing comparable) and is now no challenger any more. It stays as a result of dullness. “Everything else has poor third party support”? Well let me answer this as accurate as possible: lmao

              …so you have not, in fact, used PHP in the past decade or so. Thanks for letting us know.
