Is PHP dead? (Translation from Quora)

Despite the fact that many new languages flourish every year, I would not hesitate to say this PHP (besides JS) is one of The safest languages in the terms of jobs, and would securely guarantee an enormous job market around the world fo R much longer than 5 years. Here's why.
Despite the fact that new languages are being developed every year, I would not hesitate to say that PHP (JS) is one of the safest working languages in the world and will continue to provide security for the world's largest job market. The reasons are as follows:
PHP adopts new ideas slowly.It may sound as being a weird reason for a programming language to keep up with the contemporary development trends. In fact, what happens was only proven, polished and time-checked ideas find their the-to-PHP. As a result, it is often said this PHP is all late with introducing what have been used in other languages for some time , but with the benefit-usable and most demanded subset of new ideas is embedded into PHP. This keeps language very simple, which means a lot of people would prefer it for small and medium projects.
PHP is slow to accept new ideas。 For programming languages, keeping up with the trends of the same period may sound weird. But in fact, the current only shows that PHP is looking for a more graceful (interface) and timestamp. This result leads to frequent rumors that PHP is sometimes slower to update than other languages, but that a subset of the available and universal requirements are embedded in PHP. This ensures language simplification and means that most people prefer to use it to develop small and medium-sized projects.
PHP has a low entry level.This means, it is one of the easiest languages to start coding for newbies ever. Then, once it's adopted by newbies, it often turns out that's this language are enough for a lot of people that does not need Genius, complex, mathematical and scientific features. Result-they just keep using PHP.
PHP has a lower threshold. It's one of the easiest code to start building Web pages, and many people don't need too many physics, scientific, and complicated ideas to complete (build a Web page), which makes them continue to use PHP.
giants use PHP to make lots for money every day.WordPress, which is made in PHP, was a free framework, butWordPress.com is a commercial WordPress hosting and makes money out of it. Then, there is tens others like it. Then, there is thousands of websites selling WordPress themes and templates. Then there is WordPress commercial plugins, and plugins for those plugins. Now multiply the volume by number of the other big PHP projects, like shopping carts, CRMs, issue tracking systems, Web Analytics ... There should be very devastating processes so last very long (actually for years) before it could is possible to ruin Su CH A successful and giant php-based industry.
Large companies use PHP every day to make a lot of money, PHP developed by the WordPress (blog system) Although its framework is free, But WordPress.com is a commercial profit-making host, at the same time, there are more than 10 other companies like it, thousands of sites selling blog themes and templates, which have blog ads plugin. These plugins are now massively increased by bundling other large PHP projects like shopping carts,crms,issue Tracking,web analytics, unless there is a very long and devastating progression (often years) will be able to destroy this successful and great PHP basic industry.
Number of programming jobs is raising considerably year by year.So-worry about the raise of popularity of other languages-in numbers, PHP usage is raising too.
A considerable amount of programming is increasing every year, so there's no need to worry about other languages getting popular, and PHP is increasing in number.
20/80.Only 20% of features solve 80% of the problems. PHP is exactly those 20% in programming languages the covers 80% of all development needs. There'll always being plenty of simple tasks this need to being done cheaply:landing pages, wedding websites, CV websites, we Bsites for downloadable products, prototypes of the Web applications, simple One-page SaaS services, and so on. These all is good candidates to being programmed in PHP.
20/80, 80% of the problems can only be solved by 20% of the characteristics. And PHP happens to be the 20% programming language that solves 80% of all programming development. Often there are a lot of simple questions that need to be solved cheaply: login URLs, jump URLs, resume URLs, download product URLs, apply prototypes, and simple single-page SaaS services. These can be solved by PHP very well.
Servers accessibility.The cheapest Servers/vps for Web projects always support PHP. PHP has one of the lowest minimal requirements to the memory/processor speed.
server is more convenient. The cheapest server/virtual server is usually supported on Web site projects php,php is already one of the development languages that consumes memory and has the least processor speed.

In conclusion, a lot of effort, money and time are still being invested continuously into the PHP ecosystem Worldwide Day B Y day. PHP developers form a solid layer in the coding workforce; New PHP frameworks, plugins, themes and tools is being developed and businesses are being built around them.
The conclusion is that every day in the world a lot of efforts, money and time continue to invest in the PHP ecosystem. PHP developers have formed a solid hierarchy among code workers, and new PHP frameworks, plugins, themes, and tools are evolving, and the industry around it is evolving.
This strongly indicates that PHP would be there alive for much longer than 5 years and would always be a good means to keep The milk on the table.

This strongly suggests that PHP can stubbornly maintain the best development language for at least five years.
