PHP is not dying most of the people who write blog posts about php dying usually they haven't used it since version 5. We are on version 8 and it's super fast and more features have been added or will be added. Also as you said 77% of the web is build on top of php. If it would be dead how come we got 77% ? :-)
Because its down from 99% that's an extremely fast drop :p
Dollar is a Dollar my dear even if its not used the same globally

100%,in web domain JS is raising even python , those who moved there or new to web dev have no idea about what we both are talking about .
PHP has surprisingly matured over the past years, not gonna lie. It has a type and class system. Autoloading and dependency injection makes it even easier to manage objects. The package manager Composer is pretty similar to NPM, YARN, etc. and in my eyes even better because it checks all dependencies and installs the right versions to be compatible with all packages.
Surely you will encounter legacy code and older functions due to backwards compatibility but it's not that bad.
and getting better by time
It will always exist in some form, just like cobol and fortran are still around xD
and dominating the same though
PHP still doesnt have good async support... jetbrains.com/lp/devecosystem-2022...
not exactly :p there is a package to help us through this point
github.com/spatie/async
There are several solutions for it, if you look at the article I linked, none of them has been able to get any meaningful market share, despite being around for more than a decade. PHP just wasn't meant for writing async code and it's one of the shortcomings that will eventually make it obsolete.
for sure ! each language has its own weak points
There are still quite a lot of jobs that require it, esp with Laravel.
ofcours but its happening so there is a progress
You're operating on the assumption that people who work with something other than PHP hate PHP or have no experience with it. You know what they say about assumptions?
