Was anyone else surprised to see Kbin being written in PHP? (self.programming)

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?

Totally agree, people seem to be always searching for the next hot thing, claim it's better than everything else and start porting stuff to it. A couple of years later they choose the next hot new thing and ported their old stuff over to that. And so the cycle continues.
