And I know you can run php in the terminal, I know it has an interactive mode. 🙄

    php setup is very annoying. I'd rather face the thousand node modules

    @DreEleven cause time is expensive and storage space got cheaper

    If its about fpm:
    Php holds in an cache/running process the libraries like imagick that where used by an php file. This enhances execution speed and performance.

    If it just needs to be local use xampp. It takes about 30 seconds to set it all up.

    I still love php (laravel moreso).

    All you new age coders having a meltdown..

    "why do I need a whole server to run a programming language" - because you can't run _anything_ on just a processor. php's got nothing to do with it ;)

    If you know, why do you ask?

    What language you think gets served without a server? Serverless setups that run a whole operating system inside a docker container that gets restarted in case the node.js server crashes?

    Because running it like a CGI binary would involve reloading all code and modules on every request.

    @tosensei you can if your program is compiled (well you still need an OS)

    @ess3sq no. you need at least a mainboard. and memory. and a power supply. and permanent storage to save the program.

    @tosensei right you are, though that's slightly outside of the ranter's frustrations
