People who pickup Python will always stay and never move on completely.
My programming carear startet with perl -> php -> python
and i found one holy grail to solve most of my problems.
Python had an easy entry point the same as PHP but when you
jumped over the first learning curve and discovered the complete ecosystem it`s mindblowing.
I never had that feeling with PHP you could do websites and thats it. And most of the time it gets a mess real quick. PHP will slowly phase out over the next decade.

- VMG 14y agoI picked up Python and am now using Node/CoffeScript for web dev. I'll probably transition to Clojure in the future and I'll try Haskell after that. > PHP will slowly phase out over the next decade. Wanna bet on it?
- cowboyhero 14y ago> PHP will slowly phase out over the next decade. Wordpress. It's become a full blown CMS and its own platform. Half the media sites out there are running it, or hosting with Wordpress Pro. Then there's a horde of casual bloggers managing their own installs. Granted, there's movement away from this kind of publishing model(Facebook, Twitter, G+), but as long as Wordpress is still the go to, "set it and forget it" app on $5 webhosts, PHP will not die.
- fusiongyro 14y agoPython was my first language. Haskell is my #1 language right now, and I do Java professionally. There have been many between. It's a nice language, but it's not for everyone.
