A look at modern PHP

I think there is a huge difference between web sites and web applications. Most large applications today uses SPA and an api. The api can be done in any backend language and there is not many obvious benfits of using php but some clear drawbacks.

If you just want to create a web site quickly then php works fine but on the other hand you can do it quickly with js, c# or Typescript also.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this over the last year+. Is this true? Because the deployment model is 1000x more straightforward for CRA vs NextJS (nuxtjs, etc.).

If you used laravel you get things like queuing (tooling around). You can go async. There are some advantages.
