- gremlinsinc 3y agoif you're going off interpreted languages then PHP won. it's not as sexy or hot but it powers more websites than anytime else, or JavaScript which is also an interpreted language that is literally in every app so you could say it wins though I'd only count full stack js apps not PHP apps with a Vue frontend.
- yCombLinks 3y agoPHP certainly powers a lot of sites, but there seems to be a lot less code written in it. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places. I see tons of python job listings, very few php ones. PHP powers wordpress, and people use wordpress with a sprinkle of custom php it seems.
- randomdata 3y agoFrankly, I'm shocked it is not Javascript. It seems like it shows up everywhere. Maybe it is because we consider Typescript to be a different language? The rise of Typescript has eroded into the use of Javascript proper quite a bit. Standing alone, I could see them being losers to Python overall. But at the same time Python 2 and Python 3 are different languages, yet seemed to be grouped together, so is there justification for Javascript and Typescript to be divided?
