PHP is old

Same age as Ruby, Java and JavaScript, but younger than Python, C, and C++. 😛

I'm guessing they meant "old" as in "no one uses it anymore, it's dead"

Meanwhile PHP quietly runs 80% of the internet by being used for WordPress.

Don’t tell my bosses that. Or the PHP community as a whole for that matter. Then I might have to get a real job.

The year they both came out (1995) I was coding in Visual Basic 3. Ack.

Modern php is not bad actually. Still kinda slow and dangerous, but A LOT better than it used to be :')
That said, i wouldnt build a web service with php still lol

Actual definitions (my opinion):

HTML is website
CSS is style
JS is everywhere
SQL is data
Python is simple
PHP is backend
Markdown is README
YAML is config
