What is your opinion on php7?

what is your opinion on php7?

Has it matured enough to be considered not shit anymore?

I used to make some good cash with side projects during my studies which was nice

php always was , is and always will be shit

Still shit, people still use it

I don't know what you're asking

it got some nice frameworks so far which force you to not write shit code tho, I'd consider that a plus

Python also has nice frameworks, and is a much more sane language.

is it better for web applications tho? good template-engines similar to twig? request and response handling?

Yes and yes.

what would I try out if I wanted to start a webapp like a blog application?

Larger and more complex, free admin panel - Django.
Simpler - Flask.

I personally enjoy writing in PHP. Kind of an archaic language at this point though.

- Fun frameworks.
- Works well with talking between my webpages and databases for me.
- Use it for talking between my webpages and apps.
- Even sometimes use it for talking between my apps and databases.
- Very flexible language.

Personally I rate it 7.5/10
