  • This is gonna be a controversial take, but to be honest when PHP first started out, it’s killer feature was that it was a hypertext preprocessor. PHP is a Hypertext Preprocessor was the original recursive acronym (that was all the rage in the 90’s and early 2000’s). Arguably that feature also encouraged terrible coding practices, but I digress.

    Nowadays PHP is a dime in a dozen managed, dual-personality OOP/procedural hybrid interpreted language.

    So yeah, if I were to start a new project today, I would not choose PHP.

    I hear you. I run my own instance in Docker with watchtower for auto-updates. Voyager gets lots of updates, however, so watchtower doesn’t keep up for the time being. Hopefully with time things will stabilize more and there will be less frequent releases.




  • Thanks so much for the detailed response! I’m still learning the basics, but to me this seems fascinating and potentially very powerful. My goal is to create a “playbook” or strategy I can use in production for, say, web hosting.

    This is very novel, and as you noted, has powerful implications on how one manages their environment. I can see potential use cases for developers, researchers, web/app hosting and even plain old daily driver desktop/laptop use.
