One of my main challenges with PHP is that it has no package manager with large community support. With npm and gem, and the community supporting them - developers get so much help in building robust products. Every developer that I've known for a few years and successfully switched from PHP to Node has said "Why didn't you tell Me about this before?!"

Composer/Packagist[1] is exactly like npm. It's even mentioned in the article.

This is exactly the problem with so many HNers - they have no idea what they're talking about.

5 years ago, you may have been right. Now? You are so wrong.

Before bashing something, you should make sure you're correct.
