@jmcastagnetto@mastodon.social interesting that this talks about the strength of PHP's connection to relational databases
A while ago I was seeing if we could implement a CMS in NextJS - but the lack of database libraries was one of the main things that put me off - and I ended up using Laravel
PHP has always been highly pragmatic - and that isn't the default in the industry which is easily influenced by hype and coolness.

@sean@mastodon.me.uk Yep, I guess PHP has always been pragmatic. Used it back in the late '90s all through the '00s, for putting a web "face" to my bioinformatics research, and it was easy for a scientist like me to pick it up. Even got to co-author one of the first books on the language :-)
