I'd say PHP is still cool, there's nothing quite like it. (For good reason, according to snooty devs, who are the ones that don't think it's cool or ever was cool...) I'm probably closer to a snooty dev myself now too with my favorite languages to sip on being Clojure/Lisp/Python2.7/Nim, but man PHP was the most awesome thing when I was 15-16 and learning web programming. I still find aspects of it cool when I do web stuff in other languages (though a lot of that is probably from the CGI model), and there's no way it can maintain its 80% market share if no one (even out of ignorance) thinks it's cool. When people ask if Python is dying on the web... seems kind of irrelevant, it never had much market share there anyway. Python's strength is in its breadth, with a few deep anchors here and there. I agree it's not going anywhere.
