    ASP.NET Core is a cross-platform .NET framework for building modern cloud-based web applications on Windows, Mac, or Linux.

    I started with PHP 20 years ago but I really just don't enjoy coding in it. When I found C# asp.net it was just a much nicer work experience. I still do PHP to this day but it's mostly wordpress stuff as you can never get away from wordpress and the code standards are usually not fun. I tried to hire a wordpress developer a while back to take that work off my plate. I interviewed around 20 wordpress devs and not a single one knew how to hit a breakpoint in debugger. There is nothing wrong with PHP as a language apart from some inconsistent naming of methods and lack of syntactic sugar, but I think it gets a bad name because of so much horrible legacy code that is still really prevalent and there are so many people who call themselves PHP developers but they really don't know how to code (which is true of every language but in PHP it just seems way more common).
