PHP is old

Same age as Ruby, Java and JavaScript, but younger than Python, C, and C++. 😛

I'm guessing they meant "old" as in "no one uses it anymore, it's dead"

Meanwhile PHP quietly runs 80% of the internet by being used for WordPress.

Don’t tell my bosses that. Or the PHP community as a whole for that matter. Then I might have to get a real job.
