   Learn PHP, it is getting some serious attention and funding. Open-source framework Laravel has raised a $57 million Series A from Accel https://fortune.com/2024/09/05/laravel-raises-57-million-series-a-from-accel/ #opensource #php

     @ramsey it is loading up for me without any paywall . I am on ios. Are you in EU zone? Are you using vpn? Not saying you are not facing problems but typically theses sites block vpn or eu users.

     @ramsey they probably just want to convert you into paying customers. Someone posted archived link. Please use that link to read it. I hope this helps.

     @nixCraft the question we should ask is how Lavarel will provide something back to the investors who put $57,000,000 in Lavarel.

     IMO, from now, I will be reluctant to use it for a project used by a company, fearing a licence or something will need to be paid for using it.

     (TBH, OSS projects funding is an important topic, but different, as donation vs licence fees are)
