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!

I took a look and threw up in my mouth a little. That's not how backslashes should be used.

Instead of writing their frontend templates in PHP via Blade, many developers have begun to prefer to write their templates using React or Vue.

So... the only thing that PHP is really good for should be replaced by React or Vue Javascript / Typescript?

To each their own, but for me that's a no.

Tell me you haven't looked at php in 15 years without telling me you haven't looked at php in 15 years

I just looked, that was the basis of my comment. It's bad, in particular that "Laravel" thing was awful.
