- greenshackle2 5y agoMost of the web by traffic or number of websites?
- jensensbutton 5y agoLargely both I'd imagine. Facebook, Slack, and Etsy all still run PHP (or Hack which is a PHP flavor) as far as I know. I'm sure there are a ton of other large web properties doing the same for their web tier.
- kyriakos 5y agoAll of the main adult industry properties run on php and that's a lot of traffic.
- muglug 5y agoHack is not a PHP flavour. It's a separate language that's inspired by PHP, with its own separate interpreter (HHVM). Etsy still uses PHP, as does Vimeo and Wikimedia. A few other launched-in-early-oughts web properties rely heavily on it too (e.g. Flickr).
