On the server-side PHP is used by 76.8% of all websites (a large chunk of that being WordPress). It is not going anywhere, soon. Looking at this statistics, nothing else seems to be even in the same league from a pure usage point of view.

I have yet to see a reason why it should change. Serious question: What is the disadvantage of using the tried and tested PHP8 compared to the alternatives, if you already know PHP?

This is Bard. But Google Search also added AI to their searches, too.

Last time I checked it was in A/B testing and it was bad. The result previews sometimes show you what you are searching for, not what is actually there (wrong names, wrong dates, etc.).

I probably don’t know the full context. A cheap uninterruptible power supply (UPS) costs like $50 to $100 and does exactly what they asked for, doesn’t it?
