I have a question. I currently use PHP when creating my API's, however, I am unsure wether to move on from it. I use either laravel or lumen to do so and use vuejs for the client apps. I am proficient in Java and JavaScript and wondering wether I should move over to spring/spark or express. I have been programming for almost 10 years now and just finished my first year in uni. I want to appeal to employers for my placement year and I know they look down on php. So, should I go with java spring/spark or express ? Other suggestions are welcome!

    Unless you're having issues with PHP for API's then why change?

    Big companies like the use of Java don't they ? I've also been told they frown upon php apps?

    Not sure where you heard that. But as a fellow brit, php is still king.

    But at the same time, it never hurts to be able to create your api in multiple languages.

    Thanks @neodite. I have spoken to three employers personally and they said they don't like php - they have java stacks. That's why I was wondering. I'm gonna stick with php for now until I'm requires to move on.

    @joshgallagher24 Laravel is quite big and has some overhead. I mostly use Slimframework for API stuff because it is quite slim and fast.
    I have not tried anything other than PHP for APIs though....
