Your first thought should be, "Is this relevant to the topic at hand?" The OP was only wondering if PHP was still being used. Not an explanation on how to avoid using PHP.

Just because you have an aversion to PHP doesn't mean you tell people to do it your way. There are multiple ways of doing things. There are WordPress sites that just use WordPress with a shopping plugin. No other code or servers and they maintain inventory via the plugin using the WordPress admin console.

You couldn't figure out in whatever time frame that you had to migrate everything to one server using only WordPress and plugin(s). You instead created a Node.js based server. Fine.

But nothing since your first reply is at all relevant to OP's "PHP... still popular nowadays" response. Think before you reply next time. Fin.
