As long as wordpress still holds 40% of the sites PHP will be a major language. In my opinion, all the modern 'script' languages are now adding static-typing one way or another, to make they much robust(python's mypy, typescript,PHP, etc). I will pick PHP for backend website development, I just want to avoid the async-node-js as much as I can as it's much worse than other options I feel.
