tl;dr This is ultimate clickbait. The entire article argues the opposite of its title.

"There will come a time when PHP will die. This, however, is not it’s year" etc.

i dont think so php is finally fast, has a lot of features, can run in shell without timing out, etc.

and i would say be careful because when things are perfect they tend to get deprecated because people stop working on them. (not necassirly perfect but close). good examples of this currently are lisp, java and php, (and systemd, wayland/mir, ssl, pgp, etc?). while they replace it with technology with more bugs and less features, so be careful (cough cough nodejs and tls).

of course your title was sarcastic. long live php :>

You monster! First you gave me hope, then you ripped it away from me!
PHP powers the two most popular CMS' in the world: Wordpress and Drupal. It will never die. Wordpress makes people money. Like your own virtual marketer/salesperson.
