Me : **ignores and moves on**

    I saw this guy who enjoys RAM hungry applications instead of PHP.

    He’s still buying more RAM.

    This: $
    And this: ->

    Why god, why?

    So i met this guy who thinks universally "better" solutions exist

    @hell That's just a way to differentiate between types and relations.. We came from a very sequential structure, though they implemented OO over that, and those old scripts should still work perfectly despite some deprecation solving..

    Strict ftw (:

    @xewl I know, I just can't stand its syntax :)

    @hell use static methods if that really drives you crazy.

    -> becomes ::

    As for the $, well every language has its pain points.

    @hell return STAND ?: SIT; 🤣

    Because you can't have a personal opinion?

    @C0D4 You must like Laravel too... recommending to use static methods just so -> will be written as :: is a terrible advice, there is a reason and a place where static methods should be used, using them unnecessarily can really take a toll on your codebase.

    @hell Do you like JS's syntax? Especially how objects are defined?

    If you ask me, the only syntax I like is python

    and Yes, PHP is better than Node.js, have you seen the benchmarks for PHP 7+?

    Are you aware that Async frameworks exist for php, like Amphp, swoole, reactphp etc.

    And with type strict option, it truly makes it whole.

    @mega6382 it was a suggestion to deal with someone’s phobia of syntax rather then just suck it up and deal with it. Not advice by any means.

    So I met this guy using Node

    @mega6382 benchmarks are not a great a great source. GoLang is much faster, but it doens't mean it's better. I love it, but it is limited in some aspects, as is every language.

    I just created a http server in PHP using EventBase, EventHTTP class. I dont know why it is still blocking

    @DawidCyron Sure, but as I also mentioned, that you have the ability to write non-blocking I/O applications in php, which was the only selling point of Node.js, and same can also be done in ruby and python.
