Use pretty much any language. It mostly doesn’t matter.

Totally agree about the single thread thinking is enough for most things. It of course depends on what you build. For example, I would use some language that runs on Beam for a chat platform.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
turns out "go" is also a verb.
Thus is why I wish titles quoted names, at least where is there is any possibility of confusion
If referring to the go programming language, the title should say "golang with PHP"
There is no other way to disambiguate one of the most commonly used English verb from the obscure (in relative terms) programming language.

There's javascript in the back. And there's javascript in the front. Curious what you use for application development on the frontend and if you have some recommendations for that? Thanks in advance!
It's quite brilliant really, even for modals etc. "look ma, no javascript!". Of course it does JS for you, you just don't see it. That's my favourite kind of Javascript - someone else's problem. Livewire is a mid-way between front-end backend, it's a progressive back-end with long polling like NextJS I suppose. From your end though, it takes care of all the security of running your own API, and correctness. You basically have dynamic front-end from the backend.
If you want a full SPA or you need an application that is very responsive without network requests, I recommend VueJS - Livewire recommends AlpineJS, but of course you might be a React guy, that's fine, and use Laravel as a regular API.
You can even use GraphQL if you want to die of a young age, have some weird kinky thing going or you have something to prove... Unless you're Facebook of course you probably don't need GraphQL.
I think its a great reminder to code with whatever you feel comfortable. For example, my last project I did in Centos/Apache/PHP5/Code Igniter 3.1 with some WASP for protection I did for 12 years and sold few months ago. It checks out against Qualys Server test and ImmuniWeb very well. I sold it for close to $10MM with annual revenues of $1.6MM. The last question the new owner asked me was "what did you program it wi…
Every. Dang. Engineer. It’s crazy.
I try to work in a codebase for 3-6 months before coming to any wild conclusions. Usually you find that there’s some warts but it does the job and there’s complexity that was solved that you hadn’t originally noticed, and it’s not worth rewriting it just needs some love in some areas.
People hate reading other peoples code.
> Your website is automatically protected against XSS, session hijacking, CSRF, SQL injection, host header attacks, and other vulnerabilities. That's quite misleading however
Just made the same comment and deleted it seeing that you already stated it. Protecting against all of these is hard and no tech is going to automatically protect for all of this on its own. Such a weird statement to make that takes away from the message of the site entirely.
We used a function like findOne() (I don't recall exactly). It looked like this:
$resetTokens->findOne($GET['password-reset-token']);
The issue was that findOne would accept wildcards, so one could use ?password-reset-token=% in the URL and reset the password of any random users.
Alternatively: what would you suggest someone getting into web development to learn? PHP or Ruby?

To note, you'll need strict mode for type hints to be useful. https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.declarations.ph...
The fun part is, instead of going for a generic strict mode system we would have expected, PHP went pragmatic: as most application won't be 100% strict typed, you need to declare it file by file, the icing on the cake being that the restriction applies on the caller of the functions, not the function itself.
It makes for complicated situations, where for instance you can make an utility class that is 100% typed and follows strict typing, but if the caller of your class isn't, none of it will matter and types will be fuzzily coerced anyway.
