Dev in the house.. I have been confused on which Backend I should venture into, but any one I ask usually suggest Node js over PHP..

Please can any expert here tell me why I shouldn't learn PHP but Node js..

And please suggest the best Backend I should learn before going into Js framework

Xeeex:
Due to my research, most job requirements are for node js

ProfAmaben:


What's not true? Check indeed or stack overflow for analysis. Node js is the future and commands a higher salary. You can easily learn react and become a FullStack developer than learning php then coming back to React.

My opinion.

Luiz7:


That's wrong bro. Languages come and stay - even though Node.JS is not a language. More like a run time environment for server-side JS.

But the point is, it's wrong to tag any language as the future. The same thing was said about Python.

And now, did you know that the same Node.JS you are tagging as the future is also giving way to Deno.JS?

ProfAmaben:


I'm very aware that node js is not a programming language, JavaScript is. Node Js has a powerful ecosystem (express) and community and I see it going nowhere anytime soon. Deno.js is good also, people would use Demo and still use node.

Luiz7:


Good bro. But again, no language is "the future". We've seen some technologies come and go. And we have seen others come and stay.

Karleb:


Yeah, your opinion. Which is false.

I have seen my oga ��. Can I send a pm

cixak95211:


Lol, what you're probably thinking is that the node event loop handles most of the processing whereas in fact, it is sent of for i/o computations at the cpu's thread . . .
Nodejs is probably a bad idea for cpu intensive work though, such as object modeling and 3d rendering
but ur Go will be the first to give up if it goes head-to-head in terms of malloc and garbage collection.

NEVER LEARN PHP IN 2020

http://linkedin.com/in/mohemos

That's my linkedin profile.

I guess I'm the best person to advise you... After using PHP (Laravel, Smarty) for 5 Years and currently using Nodejs

TLDR; (The short answer is) : LEARN JAVASCRIPT then NODE.JS

I earn $20/hour working remotely using NODE.JS & REACT.JS

Long answer, picked from stackoveflow 2020 survey:
Similar to last year, we asked about many of the other miscellaneous technologies that developers are using. For the second year in a row, Node.js takes the top spot, as it is used by half of the respondents. We also see growth across the board in the popularity of data analysis and machine learning technologies such as Pandas, TensorFlow, and Torch/PyTorch.

Don't mind them.

They are so caught with the future that they forget to live in the present.

PHP is the language of the web. It will remain so for many years to come.

WordPress alone powers around 38 percent of the web. No language has close to that number on the web.

Nothing last forever though, so if you think PHP will die what makes you think your favorite language "of the future" wouldn't?

Deno can never displace node.js, it's features such as typescript, no Npm and a little more security can never displace Node. Node shows a higher performance

Wow.. that's nice.. please what materials are you using for learning purposes?

ReluctantAdult:



Oh I forgot to add that I'm still learning

I have said what I said and when i say stuffs i dont say them out of emotions . .
also please bear in mind that many coys do migrate their tech stack and yes, while some do so for better scalibility and performance, some also do so
to meet a specific use case only offered by that language in "convenience" . . .
And yes, people have called their apps shitty . . php guy said so
lets come down home a bit more . . to node packages . . even the creators of moment said you should probably not use it anymore
and offered recommendation . .but guess what, after practical test among the community, between stuffs like moment, dayjs, luxon etc . . they still found out moment held its ground . . only lacking for too much memory consumption cos it lacked tree-shaking . . .
But I'll like you to demonstrate to us on the same machine how a simple Go app will crush a simple node js app with it's ability to handle millions of routines and nodejs just being able to handle, uhmmn, 1,000 concurrent request? or 2,0000? right?
