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?

Well you can’t know what you don’t know. So if you start a project and foresee thousands of people use it in scalable manner - yeah you’ll use something faster but then your project might die before getting “in the wild”… but if you’re just nerding out with your friends you just want to have fun… and then suddenly thousands of people want to use your project… there’s just no winning
