If I weren't so self-conscious about my environment and my code, I'd consider live-streaming what I've been doing with slackertalk lately.

Basically all forward progress is stalled because the coding microframework it's based on (Silex) was discontinued several years ago.

I want to be able to upgrade to the latest version of PHP, so I have to find some way to migrate off of the old framework - and rather than doing one big rewrite, I'm trying to find a way to do it piece by piece in-situ.

I'm basically writing a framework layer to translate the old framework to a new cobbled-together one based on some components that should be able to work together to deliver what I need.

(The other option would be to move to a more monolithic framework, the one that the original discontinued microframework was based on. Symfony. However, I fear that that would add too much unnecessary complexity to the codebase, and wouldn't be as customizable to the desired behaviour of the system.)

Your biggest problem is that no matter what you do, if it doesn’t look exactly like what we have now, The Olds are gonna get scared. -- nm - Qale Apr 17, 19:57 1

One important possible bit of fallout from the above is that a login may end up being required to post. -- (edited) - Beryllium Apr 17, 19:56
