Comment on A sovereign Microsoft 365 alternative: Nextcloud and IONOS join forces - Nextcloud
aksdb@lemmy.world 13 hours agoI was in the same boat and therefore my nextcloud instance was mostly running for backwards compatibility with a few setups I have, while I mostly use seafile, immich and sogo. But a few days ago I updated to nextcloud hub 10 (I think that’s with nextcloud 31 under the hood) and damn does that run smooth. I was so impressed I got motivated to finally setup the high performance backend for nc talk.
I still dislike PHP, but nextcloud just won back my heart a little.

Why do you dislike PHP?

I don’t like the syntax, the runtime environment (which runs interpreted) and for PHP more than many other languages (aside from JS), a lot of code out there is hacked together horribly which makes me completely distrust the community.
Personally I stay away from anything that doesn’t have a compiler.

Not OP, and I don’t particularly hate PHP but I certainly understand why everyone else does. It had a ton of horrible issues that didn’t get fixed until 8. Just really awful stuff like a23+n7=30 , inconsistent syntax, It’s just had a lot of holes over the years. Post perl, It had the next greatest number of plugins and was reasonably rapid so it took off with the inexperienced crowd, But we ended up with a lot of code written by a lot of inexperienced people and a lot of best practices were eschewed. Most of the big software names that run PHP have had a constant stream of really bad vulnerabilities, more so than a lot of other languages. (WordPress, PHPBB, vbulletin, a million horribly written WordPress plugins)
Personally, in a pinch I’ll still do something in PHP. It’s so incredibly rapid and gives you marginally decent debug right out of the gate with nothing installed.
