I don’t know if it’s due to over-exposure to programming memes but I certainly believed that no one was starting new PHP projects in 2023 (or 2020, or 2018, or 2012…). I was under the impression we only still discussed it at all because WordPress is still around.

Would a PHP evangelist like to disabuse me of my notions and make an argument for using PHP for projects such as Kbin in this day and age?

Sure but there’s also Pornhub, Wikipedia, and Facebook which use PHP. Other large websites use PHP too.

Facebook doesn’t really use PHP, but Hack, which is afair a PHP dialect and runtime/compiler.
