Was anyone else surprised to see Kbin being written in PHP? (lemmy.sdf.org)

I don't know if it's due to over-exposure to programming memes but I certainly believed that no one was starting new PHP projects in 2023 (or 2020, or 2018, or 2012...). I was under the impression we only still discussed it at all because WordPress is still around.

Would a PHP evangelist like to disabuse me of my notions and make an argument for using PHP for projects such as Kbin in this day and age?

Modern PHP is supposedly pretty alright but yes I was surprised and a bit disappointed, I would have liked to contribute but I'm not gonna touch PHP in my free time lol.

This is similar to how I feel.

PHP is pain to developers Jerry!
