   PHP is a "cockroach language" that is never going to die. It is popular because it is dead simple to learn and does a better job of helping new developers get started, as it is available everywhere, including on $1 hosting platforms 😉

     @nixCraft It has survived

     * en vogue frameworks like #Ruby on Rails
     * every C# re-design
     * Monorepos
     * the Single Page Web App epidemic
     * the world-wide collective of security professionals

     But GenAI is going to kill it.

     @nixCraft@mastodon.social PHP is a actually a great and amazing language that gets unnecessary hate by snobs who think they are unreasonably superior.

     @nixCraft Although the most cockroach language is probably Fortran (followed by C, shell and Perl).
