Developers on the social media PHP is dead. Meanwhile the stats says: PHP is used by 73.4% of all the websites whose server-side programming language we know 😉
Don’t take my word for it. Read for yourself https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/pl-php
@nixCraft yeah, not at all surprised. You read their methodology and all it takes is 1 page they hit on an entire domain using php for them to count that site. Oh, and they lump subdomains together so 1 legacy wordpress site sitting on a subdomain and the entire site is considered to use php.
Finally, PHP defaults to advertising that it's being used while languages like python don't generally advertise to the world 'this page generated with python'.
So yeah, those stats are useless.
