PHP Still Relevant or Not? - Addressing the PHP Saga
Putting an End to All Jabs At The Leading Backend Programming Language for Web
While some people are out their bashing one programming language or the other as outdated or irrelevant, others are championing it's utilities by solving problems with it.
One of such language that often finds itself in this shoe is PHP. PHP developers and PHP as a language has been under terrible criticism as they dismiss it as outdated and no-longer relevant, even though it has retained its position as the most used server-side programming language for web application. Sooner than later, we will come to realize that what really matter in this saga is -
Identifying And Solving a Problem with them.
Facts About PHP As A Backend Programming Language
79.3% of web applications on the internet today are built on PHP, which is the most significant in comparison to every other languages combined. Saying it's no more relevant sounds delusional - wait until other languages achieve close before such claim can be made, my humble opinion.
Over 10,000 AIs has been published in the last 8 years, and it's growing too fast that people can no longer keep count.
Challenges Devs Are Having With The Changing Development Landscape
This has become a significant challenge for developers as well as AI enthusiast/users. Due to the amount of AIs released in a relatively small time, scattered in several niche and field of endeavours, AI users can no longer keep records of each and what they perform, and so decides to stick with one. From observation we can all tell majority are stuck with established ones like ChatGPT and some image generating or enhancing AIs. Cause of this saturation in the AI-sphere, AI developers can no longer get visibility as before, because AI enthusiast will have to struggle through or see ads of tons of thousands of other AIs, which causes lost of interest which indirectly causes low user turnout for them.
This was where - There Is An AI For That stepped in. This platform is prolly amazing and powerful. More like an AI Marketplace, There Is AI For That is an AI aggregator that contain and features over 7,000 AIs, properly labelled with their functions, and every necessary information you can get including if they are free, paid, or has a premium after first free trials.
There’s an AI that manages your business, AI that edits your photos and videos, build your website, gives you house arrangement tips, manage graphic designs, auto-complete and edit your code, prepare you for interviews and exams, serves as your tour guide, business coach etc. TRULY THEIR IS AN AI FOR THAT. And yeah you guessed right, it was built with PHP, the no-longer relevant language lol.
Like previously said, at the end we will come to realize that what truly matters is solving a problem with these programming languages and not whether or not they are still relevant.
How Andrei The Ceo Of ThereIsAnAIForThat Ended the PHP Saga
First Andrei identified this problem. Secondly he thought of the best language he can use to craft this idea into life, and he ended up with PHP. He started building and he ended up creating this masterpiece, that has not only solved the problem of low visibility of AIs developers and AI startups experience nor the confusion between AI users and enthusiast on which and how to use, it has gone as far as creating a new market model and Ad network where AI startups can display their works. They currently have an estimate user-base of 4.8 million active users per month and increasing daily. It has generated a cumulative revenue worth over estimate to be between $1.2 million only in it's first 6 months of launch.
While we look forward to the milestone it will hit next, remember all these was built with a no-longer relevant programming language. What does this entails? While learning that programming language, stick to it for as long as you can, know the floor and sky of it, build project from it before jumping over to the next. Don't be a programming h@rlot, jumping from one programming language to another without being able to do anything remarkable in any, cause at the end of the day what truly matters is your ability to IDENTIFY AND SOLVE A PROBLEM with it.
What's your opinion on this? Do you still feel PHP is slowly growing irrelevant? And why?
