The Immortal PHP: Still Not Dead In 2025

For nearly three decades, developers have been declaring PHP's funeral while hyping the next hot framework. ColdFusion, ASP.net, Django, Rails, Flask, Angular, Next.js, Python—they've all taken turns as PHP's supposed executioner. Yet there it stands in 2025, like some immortal deity rising from the clouds, declaring "As you can see, I am not dead." PHP is basically the tech world's cockroach—it would survive a nuclear apocalypse while React is still trying to resolve its dependencies.
