It's still serving 82% of websites, and it runs some of the largest and most successful properties. It's flexible as all get out, and powerful whether you're running a site or just some command line scripts. I don't do too much with it these days (besides the Parse and Facebook PHP SDKs) but I'll always defend it.

>It's still serving 82% of websites Popularity =/= quality. >It's flexible as all get out As opposed to what? Lots of modern languages have extensive web support and can have libraries for most common tasks.

  It doesn't have to be in opposition to anything. There are lots of languages, use whatever one you like that is acceptable for your situation.

What language is php flexible compared to? If anything it seems inflexible.
