My point was that "PHP is thriving" cannot be deduced from the pull stats from docker. As the TLA does. You now add an anecdotal evidence to underpin the "PHP is thriving". Which also is not a good argument. That is not to say "haha php ded" - I'm merely and only making the point that in order to show that PHP is doing good, you need good arguments. Not a download stat, that on closer inspection, shows it's not really thriving, nor a story from your last job. I also believe PHP still has its place. But haven't seen any solid evidence or arguments that this is the case and will remain the case.
