but like, wasn’t facebook written in php and didn’t it kind of take over, about as much as any programming whatzit ever has? (not saying that was a good thing, but yeah…)
Facebook has used Hack for a long time now, which is very different from PHP these days. It’s entirely statically typed with a bunch of advanced features that PHP doesn’t have.
Yahoo used a lot of PHP too, back when they were still very popular.
haha php bad, kill yourself 👌 lolol 💯👌👌😂😂😂

It’s an old sharepic, they didn’t make it.
PHP is a sturdy club. You aren’t going to take over the world with it but you can reliably put a dent in something.
I mean, PHP is used on at least ~35% of sites (based on the number of sites that run WordPress), so PHP itself has already taken over the world :)

I understood it more as: a popular, proven and very efficent tool to get the job done.
All the others are weapons (of varying effectiveness) used to kill others, while PHP is a “weapon” to commit suicide.
Not quite. There is the exploding Java gun, a hiltless sword that would be very painful to use and a cursed hammer that hits your own finger.
