    Obviously everyone has been moving to rest APIs with js front ends, almost regardless of language and framework. The whole html template approach with server side code rendering has been dead for over a decade. But I’m seeing people still heavily defend PHP here on lemmy in the wake of this recent security incident.

      No it hasn’t. Many modern frameworks have server side rendering as a prominent feature.

      Also, it’s exceptionally stupid to do everything server-side.

        There are valid reasons for it, very privacy conscious people often hate sites that require or use javascript because it enables advanced fingerprinting and other threats and is basically impossible to vet
