- gregjor 5y agoThe article clearly states that PHP runs the large majority of web sites, and Python is not gaining ground there. The link you posted shows numbers of searches for programming tutorials. Not surprisingly Python wins there, probably because Python is pushed as a first language in schools, and PHP is not. Apples to oranges, in other words. Python gets a lot of press as the supposedly “most popular” programming language, but if you measure number of web sites, or number of mobile or desktop apps, Python is not out in front, not even close. Python does lead in the number of people searching for help and tutorials. Python may lead in the number of newbie and hobbyist projects and school assignments. In the world of code people actually use Python remains niche, though it has a big footprint in data science.
