How many web sites are there?

Read my other comment in the thread. More than 80% of the back-ends are written in PHP. JS on the front-end doesn't take too much (and it would be a disaster if it did because huge number of websites would be slow). Even if you add all websites together I'm pretty sure it wouldn't surpass number of lines written in C across all diferent operating systems, kernels, drivers, embedded code, browsers, desktop environments and bunch of other stuff.

Python is not 80% where did you get that number. C# has been around for backends for 25 years.a

Where did I say Python? I said PHP. See here (it's around 80%): w3techs.com/technologies/details/p...

C# is not used that much on the back-ends overall.

My bad, but are you talking front-end or backend php.

PHP can't be used on front-end, it's a server side language.
