Is PHP dead?
summary
Argues that PHP is not dead and backs it with concrete points: PHP 8 performance improvements and real-world runtime gains, widespread use of Composer + Laravel for modern stacks, and measurable adoption growth since 2017 versus legacy installs. Calls out common problems—messy legacy code, avoidable security bugs—and shows migration patterns, typical tooling, and which projects actually succeeded or failed when rewritten, so decisions hinge on tradeoffs not myths.
