   I think younger software developers don't appreciate how big of a deal #PHP was back in the day — and how important it was for the early mainstream Web.

   The early mainstream Web — late 1990s and 2000s — was largely built on PHP — well —

   PHP + MySQL + Apache + Linux

   What eventually got called "L.A.M.P.".

   ("L.A.M.P." = Linux + Apache + MySQL + PHP.)

   A lot of the explosion of creativity & culture & invention that happened during the early mainstream Web owes thanks to PHP.
