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?

Same reaction. Rust is the future. Typescript is the present.

I've done some embedded rust and liked it. I imagine it would be miserable for Web dev though. I haven't checked out what frameworks were around to make things easy so maybe I'm off base. What's the devex like currently?

I think it targets wasm, so probably not too terrible as long as you stick to what that can handle, and I'm sure it'll be great for a purely backend service/code.
