While I agree that Perl influenced Ruby which I guess in turn influenced CoffeeScript and Elixir to some degree, the lineage of PHP seems to be dead. I don't really know any languages that are inspired by PHP itself, other than maybe Hack which one could argue is very closely related to PHP.
- tyingq 7y agoEven if the lineage dies with PHP, that pulls in Facebook and WordPress. Smarty could possibly take credit for inspiring some of the template engines out there also.
- atishay811 7y agoReact(Js framework) is close to PHP as a concept. Facebook's team had to take ideas from their exisitng code. With JSX, we could potentially call it a new language.

- chipotle_coyote 7y agoI still write and actually still (sorta-kinda) like PHP, but there's no major concept/feature I can think of that's intrinsic to PHP rather than inherited from other languages. The Perl (and general "C-like language" influence is notable, and as PHP has matured it's started to feel ever more like Java. ("To write a simple PHP server app, first just initialize your PSR-11 compatible dependency injection container and add your PSR-7 compatible HTTP request/response handlers to it...")
- tyingq 7y agoThe mixed code/template capability seems to have led to JSX.
