You’re crazy if you think PHP is dying. Development on the language is steadily pushing forward with big QoL improvements coming to 8.4 later this year.
The popular frameworks are still growing steadily and WordPress is starting to slowly shift off some of its stranglehold on old versions now that most webhosts don’t even offer old versions. That said, even Wordpress will work out of the box with old versions (they just don’t write new features against new PHP versions).
This is arguably the most exciting time to be a PHP dev!
- pquki4 2y agoDude, go to TIOBE, stackoverflow survey, Google Trends or basically any ranking/metric that compares programming language popularity and user base, and without any question php is getting less and less usage over the last few years, often even ignored. Fewer and fewer job postings mention PHP at all. These are my first hand observations, if you don't believe it, you are welcome to look it up right now.
