PHP will never be obsolete in the sense of, Wordpress and Facebook will never be obsolete. It's good enough for Facebook to not start from scratch. But it's probably obsolete in terms of starting a new website. I started web dev in PHP but switched to Django as first choice many years ago. Isomorphic React now feels like a one step backwards, two steps forward.
P.S.
These are illuminating :)

- gexla 11y agoMeanwhile, there are hundreds (thousands?) of new Wordpress installs going up every day. People building their businesses and making money without much thought as to which tooling is behind their administrative control panels other than the name, Wordpress. You did say, "website." Perhaps you didn't mean to use such a general term. A green field web application may not choose a stack which includes PHP.
