Damn, PHP is such a sleeper of a language, I always forget how useful it can be.Thanks for sharing!

Nice, sounds like it's getting modernized. I'll have to give it another round, thanks!
Genuinely curious, how is it superior to Python in your opinion?
Edit: Apart from the things you listed ๐
It can run natively on an Apache server without any frameworks required to render user website markup and serve pages. That's a pretty awesome advantage.
PHP is the OG bad-ass for getting shit done. No setup, no compile, no deployment pipelines. Hell, you can create and write the files right there on the server with nothing more than an SSH terminal if you want.
PHP is pretty damn awesome really... Sad that it's gone out of favor IMHO
