• Scripts should be written using the project main language

• Ask HN: Anyone still using PHP to build side projects or webapps

  YES! I'm using PHP to build my Search Engine for Kids Activities (http://twkids.app) and its been great! I love PHP as there's no other language that provides the same simplicity and immediacy of results. I tried learning multiple frameworks but it was just too overwhelming and complicated.
