Php has been dead for years.

  >Php has been dead for years. So has C, and C++, and Java, and literally every other programming language besides Rust and Go, and maybe Python, depending on who you ask.

    You forgot TCL and Perl. Both have been dead for many more years... At least C (and C++) will never fully die.

      Perl is still actively developed and used. It definitely doesn't have the market share it once had but I wouldn't go so far as to call it dead.

  Seems like this "dead" language has, as of today 2020-12-05, been used by the 79.1% of websites. https://w3techs.com/technologies/overview/programming_language https://w3techs.com/technologies/overview/programming_langua...

    isn't that more because PHP is one of the few languages that announces itself in the HTTP headers?

      The rest is 21.9%. Even if it was just 1 language, that's less.
