@taiz @starbreaker Sometimes we just have to re-invent PHP, especially in the browser.
@craigmaloney @starbreaker like client-side php?
@taiz @starbreaker Like compiling PHP into a client-side PHP.
@craigmaloney @starbreaker not sure if you’d be able to get widespread support for something like that since everyone likes to shit on php regularly then go back and hail javascript
@taiz No, I mean React is essentially compiled PHP with JavaScript. :)
@craigmaloney ah i see what you mean, but yeah pretty much the same idea
