PHP is the only interpreted language with real enforced types.
JS and python don't have real typing systems. TS is a lame crutch.

Most people complaining about PHP are thinking LAMP days.
nono - these days we use runtimes like https://swoole.com/.
and frameworks like https://hyperf.wiki/3.1/#/en/router
It turns PHP into golang -> coroutines, connection pooling, schedulers, websockets anything u want. I have not seen such complete packages like hyperf in other languages

Whatever AI prefers will survive because next generation of coders can't write a line of code without the help of AI.

I had to learn PHP first in 2009, then i combined that with Joomla knowledge and i was in a couple different companies, which all build on PHP for years.
Now ... i don't like it at all, haha
I think it's an architectural flaw, because it is built for synchron requests - when you visit a website, click a link and the whole website needs to load (little zap) - you can do things with cache optimization like opcache / varnish, but this is a very simple caching in contrast to better developments and YES - i love NextJS, which runs on NodeJS and PHPler can hate all day long (not so serious i hope, love you guys), but i think the result is a way better user experience.

PHP is not dead, it is still widely used, especially with WordPress.
Many people still earn money with it, and it continues to get updates and support.

It’s funny how trends come and go, but PHP stays relevant because of its massive ecosystem
