Yep, PHP is turning 30 this year! Wondering if "PHP is still relevant?" Ever since we have been hearing that PHP is dead. It was “dead” 10 years ago, 5 years ago, and “is dead” today. But somehow - it isn’t. Anyway... happy birthday!

Get that fucking JavaScript out of here
Typescript makes for a whole different experience on the FE
When I ask a server for something, its response shouldn't be "here, you do it."
What's your alternative for web development?
Server side rendered content can only get you so far.
Webassembly frameworks.
Blazor! But only because I'm a dotnet guy professionally.
Yew? I'm not good enough with Rust to have tried it.
Wasm cannot modify the DOM iirc
I've toyed with WASM, creating a simple sudoku page, and it did take an empty page, added all the buttons, and then changed them upon user interaction.
I think, I also heard of the DOM modification limitations, but it's not a hard barrier afaik, there are just some cases where it can't
But still, doing something in (pure) WASM looks way harder than needed to me
Interesting
Dotnet professionally and using lemmy.ml socially is hilarious to me and (sincerely) entirely consistent. Makes perfect sense, I just find it funny. (I'm not being sarcastic or attacking you, might not be clear lol)
Right? That's the mindset that brought us asp, jsp, and php. JS might be obnoxious, but it's the only viable client-side right now.
