asp.net is listed in the meme as 2002, and Ruby on Rails as 2004 As for PHP vs JS, depending on your needs they can serve largely similar purposes. Both dynamically construct the page, one just does it server side while the other does it client side and can keep running and responding to what the user is doing without page reloads.

In regards to php and js, unless you are talking about node.js, they are in opposition. In regards to asp.net, everyone other than windows corporate fanboys dogged the shit out of it. I got hired to a firm who asked for example code, and I submitted a php CRUD that I wrote in just a few hours. Go through all the paperwork and basic onboarding: and it is asp.net. Fixed a couple of obvious bugs the first couple of days but quit. Ruby on Rails got a lot of hype from my friend back in the day, but he wasn’t much of a programmer but kept pushing me to learn it. Just wasn’t my jam. I find that perl, php, python, and js are my most used approaches for web dev. Everything else I write in assembly. /joking, just had one class on it, and to those who can develop in pure assembly, I will bend my fucking knee. "Forgive me, m’Lord, for I am but a simple man. Please afford me forgiveness for needing just a little bit of abstraction. I know I don’t deserve it.
