  • If it’s not open source then forget about it, it won’t go anywhere. I’ve had that stance of all software for decades now, but in the last few years boat loads of others have caught on.

    Its simple really. If the software is open source (ALL of it, servers, clients) we can all check it and all be sure it does what is advertised. If not, we have no way of knowing what you’re doing, especially on the server side of things, and if we’ve finally collectively learned on thing, it’s that we can’t trust companies on the server side of things. Data WILL be used in other ways than advertised.

    Since this software is supposed to be a security product, trust is paramount, and it’s bot there at all. Unless this product would be open source I won’t even look at it.

    it’s not really a proper language

    Why, oh true Scotsman?

    It’s slower than compiled languages

    Probably, but it requires a whole lot less work to get something done. One developer pays for 20 big ass servers, so if I have to spin up one or two extra servers over requiring way less developers, that is a no-brainer

    The go syntax is cleaner than PHP

    Go kinda looks/feels like JavaScript to me whereas PHP feels more like C. I find modern PHP syntax to be cleaner than go, but that is a personal opinion. Either way, maintainability has more to do with your developers and coding guidelines than with the language itself.

    • PHP doesn’t have a built in web server because it doesn’t need one, makes development a whole lot easier as each page is it’s independent process. No worries about memory loss, state corruption, or other issues. IMHO it adds to its security and ease of handling

    • It’s super fast and easy to setup and get going

    • Web sockets work just fine, I use them daily on dozens of servers doing hundreds of requests / sec all day every day

    • They did an audit and found issues? Great, I applaud people searching and finding issues. Shall we do the same for Rust, go, or chuckle JavaScript?

    • You’re unfamiliar.with the language. <<< Yeah, that is the standard reason for hating PHP, it’s not <insert my personal favorite language>

    They could observe a connection to the server, big difference. If the site is on a WordPress domain, that IP might lead to a load balancer that manages hundreds of sites.

    Of course the reverse is also true, so for for example Facebook, of you hit one of their IPs, then its obvious what you’re accessing
